Understatement of the year but I respect the PCI-SIGs commitment to straight up double it every 2-3 years and eat shit until it somehow works.

@timonsku I've got to wonder when they will abandon that huge 1 mm pitch card edge. The fingers are about 2 UI long at that 64 Gsymbol/s rate.

Twinax cables like M-XIO would be so much nicer for GPU thermal and mechanical too.

Toot

@dlharmon @timonsku yeah I keep saying they need to move to the twinax / ribbon stuff they're using on servers. the mass of the peripheral cards has gone through the roof, the thermal demands are poorly suited for the location and form factor.
