What is this deep Micro ATX and ITX form factor? I can’t find any cases for it, they’ve made a proprietary standard we need to take a dremel to a regular case to make fit. Anyway why not Genoa? Who’s buying Intel today?
As to the latter question, until/unless AMD updates TR Pro, this is the only HEDT option in the DDR5/PCI-e 5.0 era. Whether that matters to you and your needs is another question entirely.
HEDT is also a make believe standard to run a pricing ladder against desktop processors for those who can’t afford workstation parts
Ok, deep mATX isn't mATX compliant. It's been said. But still, it is like mATX, but longer. I tend to prefer bigger cases, but mATX boards fit in them, and deep mATX would too.
There are no current gen AMD workstation parts either.
That said, with PCI-e 5.0, a little board like this has a LOT of bandwidth.
