    In a year, Zen 5 will come with Xilinx IP for FPGAs and more. Good time to be alive. Zen 4 is a phenomenal evolutionary new line. Six years ago the industry was dead.

    Are you talking about on-package FPGAs for Epyc? I don't know if it's relevant for consumer desktop. But there should be machine learning accelerators on the way for Zen 5 desktop users.

    Anyone working in Pro Tools or other DAWs for music, post production film, etc., will welcome FPGAs in Neural Engines, etc., Cores just don't cut it by comparison. The reason Pro Tools works so well on their Audio Interfaces [Carbon, etc] is they have a large set of FPGAs and DSPs on board that offload all the heavy lifting required for low latency to be maintained with audio plugins.

    Internal GPU means finally gaming on Linux! By passing through your videocard into a VM, lol.
