Absolutely agree Threska. A new processing board isn't going to impress anyone unless there is a degree of integration available with software libraries (a la CUDA). Nvidia pairs their hardware with a capable and well tested software layer. There's the way to make real money.
That CPU is not sufficient for developing on the very FPGA on the same PCB. Nor is there enough board space for all the high speed io. Seems like the worse of both worlds.
It's a new standard, not very new but it was promoted with the PCIe 5.0 devices coming, first mentioned 2 years ago with some leaked info about Gigabyte X670E motherboards supporting 25110 M.2. And they do support these (Like the X670 Aorus Elite AX).
2580 is basically the width of many LTE\5G modems that traditionally go in 2242 sockets and overlap. I suspect they are trying to make headroom for larger SSD's or more complex PCIe M2 devices...or maybe just headroom for a heatsink\heat dissipation. I saw a few SBC's at CES with 2580 sockets but they just had 2280 cards installed.

A silent prayer for a cheap FPGA dev board that's a step above the De-10 Nano.Threska - Tuesday, February 6, 2024 - link
Looks interesting. No prices, and the software is going to be what makes or breaks this.trisct - Tuesday, February 6, 2024 - link

The 3rd slide says "2580 M-key" slot. Is that an error or there is a new standard?Xajel - Wednesday, February 7, 2024 - link

to add, 2280 will fit in a 2580 slot. The pin-out is the same, it's just 1.5mm wider on each side.Samus - Wednesday, February 7, 2024 - link

zen+? GF contract strikes again?Bruzzone - Friday, February 9, 2024 - link
Kicked Arm out as the processor of choice in Xilinx FPGA's? mbHideOut - Thursday, February 22, 2024 - link
I was kinda excited till I seen Zen +. Its like a waste of silicon at this point.
