I thought that x16 is how many lanes it has?
The CPU provides 16 PCI-E lanes.
Those 16 lanes are DEDICATED to the video card slots ONLY.
The extra PCI-E lanes used by the PCI-E X1, X4 slots, M.2 SSD slots, are provided by the Intel chipset on the motherboard.
As shown in this diagram, here.
Z270 can provide "Up to 24 x PCI Express 3.0" lanes -- they are additional from the 16 PCI-E lanes coming from the CPU.
