Its page 2 says that, unlike earlier AMD APUs that limited add-in boards to x8, you get the full x16 link with Cezanne. Guru3D also counts 24 lanes of PCIe Gen 3. The usual split is 16 for graphics, 4 for an SSD and 4 to the chipset, so 20 lanes are stored and the chipset link is not counted.7Retailer pagehardwaredealz.com/hardware/cpu/amd-ryzen-5-5600g-tray/technische-daten.1850Read 23 October 2026Technische Daten page of the 5600G lists PCIe-Lanes 24 and Chipsatz-Interface PCIe 3.0 x4.
