Memory channelsiCounted in 64-bit channels, as Intel and AMD count them. A DDR5 module has two 32-bit subchannels and makers count it as one channel. A maker that counts narrower channels and states their width is converted by the total bus width, so Qualcomm's 8 channels of 16 bits are 2. A total bus width alone is divided by 64, so AMD's 256-bit interface is 4. The maker's own count goes in the source note.

CPU PCIe lanesiUsable PCIe lanes from the processor, one row per PCIe generation. Lanes that link the CPU to the chipset are not counted. If the maker gives only a total, a review that lists the split may be used, and the source note names it. When the package also holds the chipset, as on Intel Raptor Lake U and H chips, ARK's total includes the chipset lanes. Those are not counted, so the datasheet split is used. On Intel Core Ultra chips, such as Panther Lake, the platform controller or SoC tile is part of the processor, so its lanes count.

Source4Reviewtomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-5600x-zen-3-reviewRead 14 October 2026Launch review text: the Ryzen chips continue to expose 20 lanes of PCIe 4.0 to the user. HMC lists PCIe 4.0 x20 plus 4 chipset lanes. AMD's page gives only PCIe 4.0 with no lane count. The four lanes that link the chip to the chipset are not counted.5Reviewguru3d.com/review/amd-ryzen-5-5600x-review/page-3Read 14 October 2026Guru3D: Ryzen 5000 has 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes, four of them link the chip to the chipset and 20 Gen 4 lanes remain. This matches Tom's Hardware.

Native USB portsiUSB ports the processor itself provides, as the chip maker lists them. The board or laptop decides which ones reach a connector. Chipset ports are not counted. eUSB2 is the embedded USB 2.0 link that Qualcomm lists. It needs a repeater on the board to become a USB 2.0 port.

AMD's 5600X page has no USB row. The review gives no count for USB 2.0, so no USB 2.0 row is stored.
