I really wish #AMD would spend some effort on #interconnects. It's hackish & scary & unideal but put #Thunderbolt onboard. Put 100gbit or #infiniband onboard. But mostly, please bring #GenZ or #CCIX or #OpenCAPI or any standard to market. This would be such a delight to see from AMD. My heart would leap with the beautiful capabilities & futures being opened.

the hope is that in the future, all these dedicated processor interconnects can be outmoded via some gobs of #GenZ or #OpenCAPI or #CCIX (or #HyperTransport 4 #HTX - #InfinityFabric released - make my day AMD!) that allow for more ad-hoc disaggregation & configurations. i don't even really want coherency, just some vaguely #infiniband like #rdma across remote chips, spread out across a board or larger chassis.
