No way anyone is gonna waste 5.0 lanes on SATA! Those SATA-designated lanes on the WRX90 diagram are almost certainly 3.0 ones that exist purely for that purpose - consumer Zen 4 does the exact same thing. So I reckon those eight remaining 5.0 lanes from the CPU could be used for two more NVMes, giving four 5.0 NVMe drives off the CPU (which is nucking futs) - meaning none of the chipset lanes would need to be allocated to NVMe, so as you say will allow possibly a 4.0 x16 slot with multiple peripheral functionality.
Threadripper also retains Epyc's flexibility in PCIe lane splitting, which is great. Each set of 16 lanes can be split into 9 links.

That 7960X would be nice, if I had a workload that required it.

48 CPU graphs in Conky would be sexy though.

They are now allowing the PRO SKUs on the smaller TRX50 platform, at least some sense has arrived at AMD.
Too bad those bastards didn't do the same for the TR 5000 series and thus left us TRX40 users with Zen2 forever - Thanks for nothing ...

Just imagine if you were on X399. Thankfully I was able to resist until 5000 series and when I saw the 5900X trounce my 2920X I went back to AM4. AMD need to release a $899-999, 12 or 16 core chip for us who are nostalgic for all the I/O ( I still have 2 Asus M2 adapter cards) that Threadripper provides. I am just now starting to like boards that rival some of the TR boards like the X570 Unify X570S Ace, Asus X570-E Prime. Asus tricked me with the X670E Strix as they wired the 2nd x16 slot at x4. The only cost effective adapter card (for storage) you could use would be the WD AN 1500. At the current prices I cannot see myself going back to TR.

Sadly I doubt AMD is gonna indulge us. The sTR5 7960X is deliberately numbered one step above the sAM5 7950X to indicate there won't be any lower-end non-PRO model, which sucks big meaty ones. And given how the PRO SKUs are ~$1,150 more than the non-PRO ones for the same core count, I'm going to guess that the lowest-end PRO SKU W7945X will end up costing more than the lowest-end non-PRO SKU 7960X - despite the latter having double the core and thread count.

Basically, AMD's "revitalising HEDT" is nothing of the sort, just a cynical marketing ploy. If they really cared about HEDT they'd have introduced a non-PRO TR5 CPU at ~$800; instead the cheapest model is almost double that. Guess it's a second-hand sTRX4 system for me, then.

They did release the 1900X and it was the only 8 core chip that could do 4.1 Ghz on all cores. I guess you are right though we are not going to get anything like the 1900X for $200 and As Rock X399 board with 3 fully wired x16 slots for $349. I see now that boards like the Godlike exist and worry how much even baseline TR boards will cost with the premium you pay for better PCIe wiring.

Even the first TR40 were not bad in board price but they did the same thing then too with a 24 Core chip for $2500. I can't see AMD doing this though they same to be more savvy than that. It would be insane to get from AMD a 12 core X3d chip with like 256MB of Vcache or even 384 MB to make the ultimate Gaming chip. Slap a 180W TDP on the chip and we would be happy.

Unfortunately Disney/Marvel, Amazon,Hulu and others have created an industry for TR that makes the wants of DIY in terms of cost an afterthought but if they did release a X3D chip on TR4 I would probably convince myself to get it. Like i said I miss the I/O of TR. I was lucky enough to get the X399 Extreme from Earth Dog and if you think boot times are long on AM5 you have no idea but once booted what an experience. Then one day I saw the MSI X399 Extreme (I think) for $128 as a sale at Canada Computers and that was the best X399 board with the only flaw being no ARGB support in terms of 3 pin.

Its interesting idea by AMD, inline with what I had in mind (for budget TR) to give us boards with 6-7-8 slots x16, while not all have to be Gen 5. I applaud AMD for ditching non-ECC RAM. Finally.

Depending how weirdly lanes will be wired* on motherboards it may still be more prudent choice to get WRX90 instead TRX50. I hope AsRock at least will deliver minium 2 Thunderbolts on-board.

* - excellent example is Asus WRX80 Sage(II) with 3xM.2 and 2xU.2 on-board, out of which only 3M.2 can be used simultaneously, while U.2s stop functioning when M.2 are used. :banghead: When I see such stupid designs in WS, my blood is boiling.
