When i am browsing for a new CPU i love to take a loooooooot of time looking at the specs but something confuses me .Every Intel CPU that i look up has # Of PCI-e lanes but i do not see that on AMD cpus not even on official amd website. 

Am i just blind and don't see it , or does amd hide that number on official site oooorrr they don't have this limitation ????

I have a couple more questons :

1 : Do those PCI-e lane reffere to only GPUs and not other cards like : networking cards , sound cards .... ????

2 : How many of PCI-e lanes does Athlon X4 880k support :D

 

P.S. I am sorry for bad English , i know how to speak it but i don't know how to write some words. I live ( and am born ) in Serbia so we do not speak English here. :(

 

Thank you.

1. PCI is used for gpus network, usb, sata and other things

 

2. That cpu has 16 lanes for graphics, 4 more lanes for other pcie stuff, and the chipset has anouther 4 lanes.

I came up with a question. Do PCI ( NOT PCI Express ) slots effect how many PCI-e lan a CPU can support ??? If they do , then how much ( Like a x1 , x2 ,x4 ,x8 or ,x16 lane ). I don`t use PCI but i am curious.

depends on the chipset. WIth the old amd ones, they don't, there seprate parts of the chipset. On newer intel and ryzen there is no native pci, so you need a pcie to pci converter.
