> Also, the next-generation desktop CPU is set to support 16 PCIe lanes for graphics cards and two x4 lanes for solid-state drives. Meanwhile, the whole platform supports a DisplayPort output at a UHB20 rate and Thunderbolt 4 connectors, assuming that the motherboard has an appropriate Hayden Bridge retimer (which will not be cheap). Really curious to see how the connectivity plays out. Raptor Lake has 16x PCIe 5.0 + 4x 4.0 on cpu, then 8x lanes to the chipset. But so far no USB4 on chipset. Here it says Thunderbolt 4, which is 40Gb/s. Will those be through the DMI link too? They're also saying it has 80Gb/s, which probably is tied to the cpu. Now with USB/Thunderbolt you need more than some line mixing, so it seems more likely for the USB to be on cpu than chipset.
