Multiple lanes can be grouped together into x1 , x2, x4, x8, x12, x16, and x32 links to increase bandwidth to the slot For example, a

pcie 2 slot PCI Express® specification has served as the de facto interconnect of choice for nearly two decades The PCIe specification doubles the

pciex1_1 slot PCIe slots come in different sizes: x1, x4, x8, x16, and very rarely x32 The number after the x tells you how many lanes that PCIe slot has For example, a
