Kinda stink when you can’t upgrade components though. Gotta toss the whole thing out then.

generally i imagine most folks do want to use the gratis/free/included couple channels of memory bandwidth and the 20x channels of pcie.

the x300 said, screw the southbridge expander which i think is legit, a pretension which deserved to be dropped. but yeah i think most will want to just the main memory.

otoh with usb4 and it's mandatory host to host connectivity i am legit hoping we find some kick ass glueless non-coherent connectivity across cores. pcie was very close but the need to have ntb support complicated. my hope is that eith modern usb4 there's no excuse for missing good inter-system connectivity.

but what value that southbridge/chipset provides? very specious.
