I'm rooting for you.
okay here's my guess why it isn't that way:
the boards are probably too complicated and only work for the compute die it was designed for
and supporting a board for any length of time would make development slow or pains taking?
I think there is a issue with power requirement of the gpus. Each gpus has different power requirements even it's on same generation. Otherwise they can make a common board like a motherboard, and sell separately gpus heatsinks and fans..?
This is not impossible to do. Real question is manufacturer's not considering to makes it that way. But if intel can do that, it's a another revolutionary decision. Currently gpu chip is soldered to it's board. (BGA) So they have to make LGA pins and sockets for it. But it's take some more space too
Isn't that just PCIe card like this one that you can slot MXM GPU modules into?
