...So basically, as a prosumer you don't even get 8 RAM slots anymore on HEDT? Kind of a joke.
That's 192GB today (512GB in the future, 128GB modules are part of the DDR5 spec), not exactly a small amount.
So, a 5995wx will offer more RAM capacity?
And between a 8ch ddr4 and 4ch ddr5, I'm not sure the ddr5 is always better (ddr4 should beat on bw but not latency which depends on the base freq of RAM).
As soon as you introduce AMD TR in an intel cultivated company, people adopte AMD for their others project/collegue. It is remarkable. So why shot its foot like that AMD? They should have put in place an "advantage" program for targeting pro user who eat RAM. There's a market there.
WRX90 is the successor to WRX80...
TRX40 only had 4 channels, TRX50 only has 4 channels. Nothing changed.
Obviously, speaking as 5995wx user, I don't consider/compare TRX socket.
Mobo changed : wrx90 will have the same mobo as trx50.
WRX80 is 8 module. WRX90 is 4.
I'd really hope if I missed something and there is no vital regression for work.
TRX40 and X399 boards came with slots for 8 modules; similarly to Ryzen boards coming with slots for 4 modules, despite being dual-channel.
