This announcement's quite neat on its own. But if the board had an exposed PCIe connector, they'd be fantastic to build a SFF PC around.
> yes, tbt3/usb4 tops out at 32gbps, which is about the same as pcie gen 3 x4 - so will not be the same speed as a x16 slot on a desktop, but still plenty fast for a lot of use cases.
from the frame.work forums
so you practically have a PCIe slot/s available if you get an adapter for them
