Okay, so it just got a few more connections, more usb and that's it? Is the difference in pci lanes only important for people that uses expansion cards or what does it mean

IMO the main downside to X370 nowadays is the "Varies" when it comes to Zen 2 support.

Can you elaborate what the difference in pci lanes means for the user

When it comes to the chipset PCI-e lanes, most likely not much.

The CPU has PCI-e 3.0/4.0 lanes coming directly off of it, most likely to the first x16 and m.2 slots.

It depends on the motherboard which slots are connected to the chipset using these PCI-e 2.0 lanes, but few users will fill enough slots for this to matter and those who are planning to and need the lanes are probably looking at a different platform.

Depends entirely on the boards implementation of it. Mini-ITX boards don't even use them. All it means is that X370 potentially has another 2 PCIe lanes available for Motherboard devices.

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Linux - Fedora
