Gigabyte MZ30-AR0 offers AMD EPYC 7000 Server Motherboard - has 16 DIMM slots
Cute, just cute. Gigabyte offers the MZ30-AR0 motherboard, this is a server mobo intended for the AMD EPYC 7000 processor series. Not consumer related at all, but man look at the DIMM slots population (16) and the number of PCI-Express slots. Nice
The MZ30-AR0 follows an E-ATX (305 × 330 mm) form factor and is intended for a single CPU setup with support for up-to 32 CPU cores. The socket is based on Socket SP3 and supports an up to 180 W TDP processor. The memory DDDR4 × 16 (8- channels at 2,667 MHz), the capacity per module can be up to 32 GB for RDIMM and up to 64 GB for LRDIMM / NVDIMM.
- AMD EPYC™ 7000 series processor family
- 8-Channel RDIMM/LRDIMM/NVDIMM DDR4, 16 x DIMMs
- 2 x SFP+ 10Gb/s LAN ports (Broadcom® BCM 57810S)
- 1 x Dedicated management port
- 4 x SlimSAS (for 16 x SATA 6Gb/s) ports
- Ultra-Fast M.2 with PCIe Gen3 x4 interface
- Up to 4 x PCIe Gen3 x16 slots and 3 x PCIe Gen3 x8 slots
- Aspeed® AST2500 remote management controller
The storage is (Slim) SAS × 4 (SATA 3.0 × 16) and the board gets 4x PCI - Express 3.0 (x16) and 3x Expres 3.0 and sure, M.2 × 1 (32 Gbps). Admit it, you wanna lick it like a pop-sickle.

Hmm, that's a valid point. On the other hand, server boards have the freedom of using uncommon power distribution, and some that use proprietary connectors. The fact many of these boards require 2x 4+4 pin CPU power connectors means you're already going to need a specialized PSU anyway.
oh i am sorry, it must be those motherboard power limitation, x16 will draw up to 75 watts from pcie slot, so it must be lower than that, maybe 25w each slot. If each slot draw 75 watts its going to consume at least 600w for motherboard alone.

I think you misunderstood - I'm saying they're not using enough PCIe slots or lanes; there's so much more the CPU has to offer. I was expecting boards like the one you linked to to be released.
And yes, most PCIe hardware won't max out x8 bandwidth, but my point is the CPU offers enough lanes for x16 so why not offer it anyway?
