Will Ryzen 4000 CPUs have more PCIE lanes?

As a GPU rendering professional

Oh they will be overpriced :D

Contradictory statements, we all know that GPU's in the professional market have been overpriced since their inception. :D

and ideally be PCIe4 for ease of system building.

Indeed, I hope they at least offer Quadro versions with an 8x PCI-E 4.0 option to allow more cards per system, while not worrying about bandwidth. I already have two system designs updated based on these theoretical changes, and with end users who are chomping at the bit for performance per box. :)

True haha, but these days many pro GPU renderering professionals don't use Quadros, not on a CUDA platform like Redshift :) Basically its all CUDA cores and clock speeds, with GeForce RTX performing far superior to Quadro RTX per dollar. A major Quadro advantage was extra memory capacity on the higher end cards, now GeForce has nvLink and scalable memory. Then for some reason nVidia decided to unlock full 10 bit color support with Studio drivers for the GeForce RTX 2000 cards... I was shocked when they did that as this goes against nVidia's industry reputation of being super greedy and evil lol.
There may be a point of difference with Quadros having Tensor AI cores, but outside that there's less and less reason for Quadros to exist in many prosumer markets. I guess they still have ECC VRAM lol, needed for some kind of mission critical supercomputer that models tsunamis 24/7 or something :D and some applications do have custom Quadro drivers, not in many DCC apps AFAIK, mainly pro engineering.

It’s not just the extra/improved hardware you’re paying for. You need a to offer a lot of support in this end of the market.
