Among the advantages of the X399 platform for Threadripper processors is the number of PCIe tracks it can manage. There are 60 in total, of which 48 are usually reserved for graphics card slots, but there are no major problems in using a PCIe adapter to use those 48 also for M.2 type SSDs.
Now that the X399 motherboards are compatible with a RAID, something they have received via upgrade on September 25, has tested the maximum speed that can be reached with eight SSD. That’s 28 375 MB / s, through eight units 960 PRO and Samsung EVO. That is PCIe 3.0 x4 with NVMe 1.2. They have used two PCIe 3.0 x16 adapters in x4 / x4 / x4 / x4 mode with four SSDs each.

And there are 28 PCIe tracks for graphics cards and other storage if you like.
One of the greatest favorable circumstances is 8 channel RAM. Unless somebody tries to include HBM onto a bundle. The 4 passes on would need to sit on an interposer all with connections to the HBM.
Gee, that may be lovely “Epyc” really. Maybe the HBM could even be a “last level reserve” for between CCX and between kick the bucket interchanges as opposed to DRAM. Entirely that I consider it, a 32 center (or more for future Zen discharges) server chip presumably is at the value point where that would be more practical than say, a gaming Vega GPU.

I simply wish AMD would discharge an opened Epyc. While 4 GHz won’t be conceivable, I figure the accompanying may be practical for gamers:
- Permit each CCX to be overclocked or even each center.
- At that point permit the most requesting applications to be in that CCX
- All amusements that utilization under 4 centers would just utilize that CCX
Gaming isn’t the best use for that transfer speed or RAMDisks (more probable something like video altering), yet envision having the capacity to put your amusement onto such a Ramdisk. YOu would require a reinforcement control supply if there should be an occurrence of energy disappointment, yet in many recreation … Bye, bye stack times.
An appropriately composed board could permit twofold that… what’s more, EPYC can twofold that by and by… not at all like 100GB/s+ of real stockpiling execution… some time ago the area of extraordinary manufactured equipment.
Speedier than even a RAM Disk at successive execution. In spite of the fact that a RAM Disk improves inactivity. Imdisk I think presumably has the best 4k execution however from a RAMDisk. Not certain about consecutive, however.
I think about whether a RAMDisk may have the capacity to influence utilization of the 8 to channel RAM that Epyc has.

I think about how the between pass on correspondences influence 8 channel RAMDisks on Epyc. Maybe with a speedier between kick the bucket correspondences that may happen. In the event that HTT truly can do 3.2 GHz, at that point it goes to reason that possibly Infinity Fabric can as well – 3x the current 1066 MHz stock speed and twofold 1800 MHz greatest that individuals would then be able to utilize DDR4 3600.
