>"AMD has announced a new PC motherboard architecture for embedded PC applications, which it calls the Embedded+ integrated computing platform. From a hardware perspective, the Embedded+ platform architecture drops an FPGA onto a PC motherboard, connects the FPGA to the x86 CPU via PCIe, and routes the I/O pins from the FPGA to a newly defined expansion connector on the motherboard. In essence, the FPGA becomes a smart – nay, brilliant – I/O expander and hardware compute accelerator for the host x86 CPU."
This is how all x86 PC (and other computer) motherboard proprietary chipsets -- should have been implemented -- but never were!
i.e., the use of an FPGA (or multiple FPGA's) for I/O and other motherboard support functions -- is preferable to any proprietary chipset...

Anyone at Framework (https://frame.work/) listening?
