...bigger bandwidth is needed if in future you want better responding GPU's and other hardware...
and again: NOPE.
just because the cards will have more "horsepower" does NOT mean we need more bandwidth.
check which was the first Nv consumer card that had a 256bit bus
when was that?
we still have 256bit how many generations and years later?
EVERYTHING improves, eg. Nv improved a lot including getting a better compression algorithm, which in turn needs less bandwidth.
in 1979 it took 7L-V8 to get about 220HP, i can now get a vw golf do 300HP out of a 2.0L 4cyl while it weighs about 1/3 less..

I can't believe intels latest cpu is out....the only cpu worth upgrading to right now imo for anyone with an i7 870/2500k/3770k/4770k/4790k/6700k/7700k and there is no supply and and no 8 core version.
Stopping selling what already wasn't selling...I want to know when people can finally buy what's in demand.
Skylake x and the low supply for coffeelakr have got to be the worst organisef year in intels existence.
You've got a 6 core killer that costs the exact same as what I paid for my $6700k....and they woulf be flying off shelves if there was stock....and no one can get them :S
dont remind me for what I payed for 6700k a year after it launched I could of got 8700k, if i waited another 2 years. not that i complaining., none of what said in the article is surprising though. Intel got cold hard slap in the face after all these years from AMD

If believe rumors PCIe4.0 will not be release, they will skip to PCIe5.0, bigger bandwidth is needed if in future you want better responding GPU's and other hardware.
You know marketing in 2017 is playing with people a lot,i think 2018 will be best new technology year.
But everybody has own thoughts about what to do and what to buy,now or later,i think now is bad to buy something new.
GPU arnt gona get more responsive by PCIE5.0 less by the time it is released they magically start saturating the current bandwidth 3.0 has. which they dont come close too atm. we have 3.0 and 3.1 usb that most device dont even use all of the bandwidth they provide.
