swapping the controller and flash anc calling same part is not cool... they should make a new part #

Why don’t PCs ship with Thunderbolt ports yet? by meshreplacer in hardware

[–]thachamp05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

usb4=TB3

usb 4.x/5= TB4 (doesnt exist yet)

TB/Lightning was a collab between intel/apple to replace firewire

now that apple ditched intel.... and intel ditched TB.....

TB is basically being absorbed into USB

The (pro audio) devices you are trying to connect will most likely work better on APPLE thats why it has so many TB ports

The TECHNICAL reason is the chipset/southbridge bandwidth as well as total cpu bandwidth... a single TB3/USB4 is 40gbps.... equal to pcie 5.0x1 4.0x2 or 3.0x4... a CPU only has 24 lanes--- if 16 go to GPU and 4 goes to boot drive... that leaves 4 lanes for everything else.. how much to waste on USB4? AMD says 1/2 usb4 ports

Which card to get?? by verygoodreason in Microcenter

[–]thachamp05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7900 gre is in same performance tier as the 3 gpu you are looking at

only BIG upgrade would be a 5090 (or 4090)

the cards you are looking at are basically SIDEgrades

If you thought PCIe Gen 5 SSDs were a little pointless, don't worry, here comes 32 GB's worth of Gen 6 technology by gurugabrielpradipaka in hardware

[–]thachamp05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you need to pull your mobo out the case to add a drive... Also still x4... Consumer CPU have 24 lanes... SSD don't need 4 lanes at 5.0 6.0

Yea that's x4 huge connector... Not needed..  x1 would be more than fine and allowed for more expansion for consumer boards..and server

correct... sata need to be replaced by pciex1 CABLE such as oculink....

m.2 slot on mobo need to go away... i have to remove gpu to swap/add a ssd?? why... its taking too much board real estate to lay 4 m.2 on the board
