> Intel's strategy of limiting the PCI throughput to hold GPU manufactures back is over, and these AMD cpu's are going to be paired super well with AMD, which is really making Intel look sad soon. Boat loads of major players have been irked by Intel holding back PCI throughput, AMD let it rip, and "thread ripped" too!

In what way does the increase in PCI lanes stop holding gpu manufacturers back? To the best of my knowledge a single GPU doesn't use more than 16 lanes.

Only multi-gpu systems are held back by the PCI lanes. So I can see threadripper being great for supercomputers, but I don't see how it affects Nvidia or AMDs GPU section.
