One of the most interesting features about AMD’s X399 platform is the fact that there are 64 PCIe lanes. While 4 lanes are dedicated to the chipset, the other 60 lanes are for PCIe devices such as graphics cards, a sound card and apparently NVMe SSDs. When AMD Ryzen Threadripper launched, the NVMe RAID support was missing. Although for some this feature might be important, we didn't think it was a big loss since a NVMe RAID setup is quite uncommon.

Gigabyte has partnered with AMD to combine its GA-AX370-Gaming K7 motherboard with the Radeon RX Vega64.

The PCIe 3.0 standard has been here since quite some time (2010) offering a level of bandwidth that starts to be a limiting factor due to PCIe NVMe storage products and the growth of the GPU compute.
