Of course, now that I talked myself into buying the Promontory 21 card, Wisdpi is out of stock with no re-up in sight. Sigh. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://wisdpi.com/products/prom21

Fascinating item at Tom's Hardware about an AMD Promontory 21-based add-in card. Offers major added I/O capabilities. Pretty cool! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/chipsets/amd-b650-expansion-cards-hit-retail-starting-at-usd199-add-four-m-2-pcie-4-0-slots-and-11-usb-ports-to-any-pc-with-a-pcie-slot

AMD B650 expansion cards hit retail starting at $199 — add four M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots and 11 USB ports to any PC with a PCIe slot

The Promontory 21 chip isn't locked to AMD CPUs in any way, so you can use it with anything.
