There is a new trend in desktop computers today. The newest high-end processors from AMD and Intel have been able to output their raw power to motherboards using a new PCIe 4.0 standard that enables a single PCIe lane to support a massive amount of downstream I/O. This is a huge step for motherboards, as it allows them to be loaded with a bunch of new features at a very competitive price.
(kinda…I don’t know what I mean)
No, I’m afraid. Because of its ever-changing nature, nothing in the gaming business is future-proof. You might purchase an SSD now, and in a year or two, it could turn out to be a liability for a variety of reasons. This is why you shouldn’t put too much money on a single entry (particularly if it’s a motherboard), since you’ll probably be upgrading to a newer CPU in the near future, and BIOS flashing may not be enough to ensure flawless results.
