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.
