Re:All AMD ThreadRipper CPU's will have 64 PCIe Lanes by wtallis on Wednesday May 31, 2017 @12:29PM (#14453765)
The poor market penetration of PCIe SSDs and their high price per GB is a strong disincentive for game developers to store data in lightly-compressed formats that require minimal CPU processing to load and use. We might see some improvement in using multiple threads to load game data now that CPU core counts are on the rise at the high end.
