“They will offer four additional PCIe 5.0 lanes for storage, and a PCIe 4.0 x 4 interface for the slower standard. While the chipset omits PCIe 3.0 support, that’s unlikely to bother anybody and the new configuration allows computer makers to avoid sacrificing PCIe 5.0 lanes for GPUs and storage.
The LGA-1851 platform also abandons support for DDR4 memory”

Loading the drm-61-kmod (6.1.92) driver at boot time leads to kernel panic and system freeze.
https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/issues/305
This commit: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/1308 ensures that the right firmware for AMD Raphael GPUs is installed via fwget. It solves the kernel panic but not the system freeze/hanging. I did not test it on my PC as I am currently away from home, but it is promising.
I am waiting patiently until this issue is fixed or else I am buying a cheap GPU, e.g. RX 570 that runs smoothly with FreeBSD.
