Is this a joke? 6 Gen2 lanes on the chipset? Only 4 SATA ports?

>Is this a joke?
No
>6 Gen2 lanes on the chipset?
More than enough
>Only 4 SATA ports?
2 SATA from the APU + 2 SATA from the chipset + 1 SATA Express which can be split into another 2 regular SATA ports
This lets you connect up to 6 SATA SSDs or HDDs. Who the fuck needs that many?

Me?

It was more than enough. In 2011.

>>56467655
When's usb 2 going to fuck off for good?

>>56467727
If you need more why are you looking at budget APUs...

>>56467778
It's not about the APU's, B350 is supposed to be a replacement for 970 and A78 chipsets on AM3+ and FM2+ respectively.
But it's a reduction all around.

>>56467805
Isn't the whole lineup getting revamped? I don't think there's room to complain until we know the pricepoints.

>>56467847
As far as I know there will only be one more on AM4, the 990FX equivalent.

>>56467865
Source? I'd say there's no excuse there but I doubt that's the case. The 990FX replacement is marketed for multi-gpu configs so that makes zero sense.

Also all these are using AM4.

>>56467914
Pretty much confirms what I said.

I kinda wish AMD would keep their FM2+ and AM1 sockets alive, they only made them a little while ago and now people that use them are stuck.

more lanes can be built into the cpu and more can be added to the board via PLX chips, i think this more meant to be a bare minimum spec for OEM and cheap garbage boards

What about the server lineup?

>>56467655
AYYYMD is for poorfags. They buy apoos.

>>56468750
Intel makes chips in the same price range with integrate graphics.

>>56469188
But theirs is literally 1/3 of the die size of an APU

>>56467655
>caring about oem shit
You're not seriously thinking about buying a dell are you?

>>56469233
Whats your point?

>>56469445
Poo in loo, pajeet

>>56467655
It's a laptop/budget desktop chipset.
No need for anything more complex on these.

>>56469469
Okay so youre just some retard from /v/ memeing.

>>56467714
4 sata ports wont let you connect to 6 hdds or ssds

AYYMD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT

>mainstream

What part didnt you get? Incase you're confused: you're not mainstream.

>>56467655
Chipsets and APUs were announced for ... drum rolls... OEM builder. You know, those that build PCs. If you want to build an own PC, then you need to wait a little longer.

>>56469729
You can connect 2 SSDs to the SATA Express port

>>56468419
No word yet, we probably won't get the enthusiast and server chipsets announcements until december
>>56469837
So much this, the last time I needed 6 SATA ports the only cheap FM2+ mobo that offered that used the A88X

>>56467655
>implying poorfags will ever use more than two drives and a GPU that can't even saturate 8x 2.0

>>56470624
>implying it's acceptable to have 6 Gen2 lanes on a 970/A78 equivalent chipset in 2016

>>56470647
refute my point instead of repeating OP and I might care about your opinion.

>>56469773
Pretty much, yeah

>>56469802
>8x PCIe
>>56470624
it's PCIe 3, and has been proven already, GPUs don't even need use it to its capabilities.

>>56472546
It was an example. I was saying poor people/budget minded builders probably won't have a GPU that needs more than 8x 2.0 or equialent (4x 3.0)

>>56469763
hmmm... unless you need that capacity for useful stuff and not data hoarding, I would consider getting some of those disks out in a NAS

dunno just saiyan

>>56476522
there's space in my case of these disks, why use two boxes? besides the extra physcal space, then i'd also be limited by gigabit ethernet to access by data

>>56467655
OP is 2d porn hoarder.

I'm going to buy it for my living room as soon as ITX with m.2 is available, probably the 35W part. I will not be bothered by "lack" of SATA ports because NAS.

>>56476671
You still didnt answer why you need all that space and bandwidth tho. Surely you do some sort of intensive work on that machine if you need so much SATA bandwidth, right? Right?

>>56469763
>>56467727

>Being this retarded
If you need that amount of data the best way would be, raid cards (but you turds wont know nothing about it so just call them pci-e sata cards), nas or even a tiny file server.
Because all that precious data must be mirrored right?

>>56479234

of course
