Comment Imagine it, but with 1xPCIe 5 (Score 2) 42
The extra expense of the PCIe 5 circuitry would be balanced by having 1 less amplificator and one less set of Pads to the external world, while maintaning speed.
Wins all around.
The next Speed Bump will come with PCIe 6
Hope this, or something like it, gets standarized across the industry, like what happened with Dell's CAMM, that Del gave free of charge to JEDEC, so that CAMM2 could become an indsutry wide neutral standard.
