Of course not; this isn't even possible with a dual socket system, which would also lack the memory bandwidth to do anything except idling with that many PCIe lanes. (Plus, if your IO bandwidth is pretty much the same as your memory bandwidth ... what exactly are you gonna do in terms of data processing? 1+2?)

But this is just one of many things that just don't make any sense at all about this design. It might look nice, to some, though.



Maybe feed the GPU?


If you want to feed dozens of GPUs with compute tasks then there is more specialized hardware for that with way better density. (That goes into a rack of course).
