CPU Comparison: Whats the difference?

Solution


The motherboard provides the physical slots available to utilise the PCIE lanes but the CPU will essentially work together with a limit. i5 4690k has a limit of 16 PCIE lanes.

There detailed specs on intel cpu on Intel own website :

Do you have a link on that? I don't see it mentioned, and I thought PCIE lanes was a motherboard difference. I'd like to know for sure, as that 5820k does look tempting for someone still on an i7 920 :p
 


A CPU. to my knowledge, acts as an airport and is what actually processes information and sends them down the proper lanes. It sends off the airplanes pretty much.
