That is part of what concerns me (i.e.: they don't care about the physical layer, so they're happy to rely on PCIe).

I understand that AMD has to balance the timing of their marketing, but I can't find technical details on IF anywhere, including patent filings. Aren't chips supposed to be released in 2Q17? It's a little late to be disclosing surprises in the interconnect of a server-class microprocessor.
