In this article, we are going to discuss why the AMD EPYC “Rome” generation will likely see 160x PCIe Gen4 lanes plus likely additional lane(s) for a necessary function. While all of our previous material focused on 128x PCIe lanes, in single and dual socket configurations for AMD EPYC, we are expecting a big change in 2019 with the new generations and one that Intel fully failed to address with its release this week. Intel instead focused on bringing out a large portfolio instead of addressing the fact that it is about to have a competitor with twice as many cores per socket and well over 3x the PCIe bandwidth in mainstream dual-socket systems.
