Slightly off topic but it blows my mind that the 13900K only supports 2 memory channels. My 10 year i7 supported 4!

Partly to simplify design and reduce cost, partly for market segmentation.

this is only kind of true. the 13900k supports 2 channels but for ddr5, each channel ends up being split into two smaller channels.
