I'm looking for an AMD motherboard that has two PCIe x16 slots that both can be bifurcated to use two ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 cards with. It is for a proof of concept/lab setup so the cheaper the better. Does any one know of such a thing?
If you don't need an enterprise solution there are many prosumer/HEDT boards which should work for you. der8auer demonstrated your exact use case with a prosumer/HEDT ASUS Zenith Extreme (skip to 7:28):
EPYC and TRX40 support it mostly. I’d expect Threadripper Pro to support it also. Make sure you confirm the bifurcation is available in the BIOS with the manufacturer before purchasing a motherboard though. Depending on the board, things may not be as expected. For example
ASUS on their top end TRX40 boards have a weird bifurcation layout, while the mid-range and “cheap” ASUS TRX40 boards support 4x/4x/4x/4x in every x16 slot.
