200 gigabit is where PCI Express 4.0 is sorely needed, two such ports need more bandwidth than a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot can provide so they are using two such slots

(I know I linked Ethernet, the bandwidth situation is the same.)
> Socket Direct technology is enabled by a main card housing the ConnectX-6
and an auxiliary PCIe card bringing in the remaining PCIe lanes. The
ConnectX-6 Socket Direct card is installed into two PCIe x16 slots and
connected using a 350mm long harness
