> #1 expected ASM4242 mux with 2x DP for APUs -- It'd be nice if these pins could export additional PCIe lanes for non-APU systems.
Keynote slides that just came out show RDNA2 in the Zen4 I/O die, so it looks like there won't be non-APU systems. I think you'd have trouble using pins for PCIe sometimes, and DisplayPorts other times, depending on the CPU you install, would make things more confusing, IMHO.
Yes, seeing those this morning, if even the higher end CPUs all come with at least an anemic framebuffer GPU a server could use the x8 and x8 links intended for a desktop's GPU as IO expansion slots. It looks more palatable as a 'could be pressed into service as a server' segment for both new and hand-it-down builds.
