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.

Max # of PCI Express Lanes 20. PCI Express Configurations: x8 PCIe5 (1x8, 2x4), x4 PCIe5 (1x4, 2x2), and two rows of x4 PCIe4 (1x4, 2x2, 4x1). That gives 12 lanes at Gen 5 and 8 lanes at Gen 4, which adds up to the stated 20. Chips and Cheese describes the same 12 plus 8 split for the 16-core Panther Lake tile with the platform controller tile carrying the Gen 4 lanes.4Press articleold.chipsandcheese.com/2025/10/14/panther-lakes-reveal-at-itt-2025Read 15 October 2026The article says the middle configuration has an extra 8 Gen 5 lanes on top of the 12 lanes (4 Gen 5 and 8 Gen 4) of the smallest one, for 20 lanes on the SoC. That is 12 Gen 5 and 8 Gen 4, as derived from ARK's configuration rows.
