Also some AM5 rumours! Take it with a grain of salt!

Looks like AMD will be going LGA for Zen 5 if true. PCI-e 4.0 is a bit weird if Alder Lake turns out to be PCI-e 5.0.

Do we have any hardware that makes any use of PCI-E 5 already?

I do think 4.0 is still fine. Pretty sure they will upgrade to 5 midway with something like Zen 5 like they did the switch to PCI-E 4.0 with Zen 2.

Yea but in fairness, I ragged on Intel for not having PCI-E 4.0 so I am gonna have to do that for AMD as well. It's probably not a big deal but with the way tech is advancing due to competition, the more features the better! Still, if Zen 4 kills Alder Lake like AMD did with Zen 3, then it won't matter regardless.
