• 100GbE just not getting the job done any more?  Mellanox has a dual-port 200GbE card for you.  (Serve the Home)
  
  This is one of the factors behind the push for PCIe 4.0.  This card - which will not be at all expensive by enterprise standards - needs more bandwidth than a full PCIe 3.0 x16 slot can provide.
  
  As I've mentioned before, I mostly still work with 1GbE.  Current model servers might be twice as fast as what I have access to, but current model networking is playing an entirely different game in an entirely different stadium.
  
  
• If you need PCIe 4.0 RIGHT NOW TODAY well, tough, but you can pre-order the Raptor micro-ATX POWER9 motherboard for $799.  (Phoronix)
  
  One PCIe 4.0 x 16 and one x8 slot, dual GbE ports, 5.1 channel sound (?), two memory slots (?!) and supports up to an eight core POWER9 CPU.
  
  
• AMD's Ryzen 2600X MAX and Ryzen 2700 MAX are exactly the same CPUs with the bigger Wraith Max cooler.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  For...  I don't know who these are for.  But they only cost a little more than the standard edition.  The 2600X MAX is a good budget overclocking bundle.
