Not sure about the first question, but to answer your second, Intel is superior. (But more expensive) An i5 4690/k Is better than a FX8350.

On AMD it's determined by the motherboard as the northbridge is off die (e.g. it's a separate chip).

 

970 supports x16 x4 crossfire only

990X supports x16 x8

990FX supports x16 x16

and 760g is 16x only

 

All PCIe 2.0

 

If  you intend to upgrade an Intel solution will be a far better choice.
