The next logical step of the current GPU development
We'll soon be plugging the motherboard into the GPU instead of the other way around.
Entirely new form factors to accommodate the ever increasingly large GPUs.

I've been surprised at the lack of socketed GPUs ever since AMD and ATI merged.
I would love to have dual-socket motherboard with an Epyc in one socket and a Radeon in the other.
The issue with that design is that the PCIe standard would be replaced with something proprietary.
All that hardware, and what for? So that you can have slightly better reflections in whatever AAAA microtransaction slop you've paid 80 bucks for?
Unless you're doing 3d animation there is really no need to have a jet engine installed in your PC.
For locally hosted LLMs maybe? They eat a ton of VRAM.
That's just silly.
In the last image the PC would be SFF due to having an external GPU. 😉
