I learn more about the rx5500 and the situation becomes clearer. I definitely won’t purchase it for a Sandy-Bridge configuration at just 8x-PCIe.
It’s about the elimination of the x16 slot. The unsettling part is the opening claim that PCIe 4.0 isn’t just a flashy feature. They explain that reducing the lanes and lowering memory usage can give PCIe an edge. PCIe lets makers produce weaker cards that still benefit slightly from leveraging system memory instead of a quicker path. The main factor remains the eight lanes.
