The time has come once again.
AMD 1100 PT
NVIDIA keynote 1920 PT
NVIDIA 1830 PT
Intel keynotes:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/events/ces.html
Accenture, Volvo, Delta, x, SiriusXM, Panasonic:
What I’m hoping for:
Intel Xeon announcement - Xeon has trailed Epyc in efficiency since 7002 series
AMD Zen 5 EPYC on AM5
Nvidia 5090
AMD 8000 series GPU
https://www.asrockrack.com/general/products.asp#Server
they have a Intel Core™ Ultra 1851 section now, hopefully W880 motherboards are announced this week 
Also i’d love to see 64GB or 96GB ECC UDIMMs announced for W880 or Zen 5/EPYC 4004

“2025 is the year to buy a new PC and move to Windows 11” -Jim Johnson @ Intel
Arrow Lake 200H for gaming laptop
Arrow Lake 200HX for even more gaming laptop
Panther Lake is confirmed on 18A process and running in the wild
Appears to be a consumer SKU based strictly on size presented
ETA: dunno
The amount of new laptop CPUs is overwhelming and confusing… if I need to buy a new laptop it will be a mess to make an informed purchase

Oh snap, my bad for doubting you, its not showing on my side, maybe because im from the UK
ooo i see, can you post a picture of the motherboard if possible, that link just redirects me to the all server motherboards page

How many PCIe lanes do 200H CPUs have ? 20 ?
Why so little / nor improvement ?
:chefs kiss:
unfortunately, until intel takes HEDT seriously with Xeons, these are the highest PCIe Lane count we can get
I’m tempted to replace my AM5 system with this, it would be a decent bump up in performance, and far better connectivity than the EPYC 4004 motherboards offers; 32 usable PCIe lanes actually spread out to more devices my current H13SAE-MF offers.

I’m after the EPYC 4000D4U, but cannot find it anywhere
MCIO for storage
x16 for 2x 100 gig networking
Would make one hell of a NAS
https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=EPYC4000D4U#Specifications
I just want a raid card, a graphics card, “fast” ≥25GbE networking, and as many MCIO/SlimSAS ports for use with NVME enclosure as possible… and I suppose some SATA as well for the old ODD and miscellaneous drives.
If those MCIO ports could do x2x2x2x2 bifurcation that’d be even better but this isn’t something I’d expect from Intel.
12V power supplies finally available in prosumer/mainstream? Are they available and did anyone run any tests?
This board might be nice way to compare both side by side.
oh that’s interesting, this board can do the ATX12VO standard and has a little mini 6 pin PCIe type power connector to give hdds 5 volts.
hwbusters ran a test of one of the 12VO PSU’s awhile back:
Its funny to look at the unpopulated sections of the PCB where more components should be in the tear down.
