In our Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 9 3900X review, we made a startling discovery, that our ASUS ROG X470 Crosshair VII Hero motherboard was able to support PCIe 4.0 over the motherboard's primary M.2 slot. Yes, we got full PCIe 4.0 speeds on X470. 

Since then, a slide from ASUS has started to spread which showcases the levels of PCIe 4.0 support that's offered by the company's X470 motherboard lineup, with most motherboards supporting PCIe 4.0 over their motherboard's primary M.2 slot (which typically connects directly to the user's processor) while some others offer PCIe 4.0 speeds on the motherboard's primary PCIe 16x slot.

    Why I told go for ASUS Motherboards. It's good because most of thing they done are capable and other manufacturer after ASUS discover how. Because it would be funny to look how "Ultra" M.2 and GIGABYTE I don't know how they call them are not capable to support ASUS M.2.
    I'm sure same results will get and others.
    Now I'm not only sure how many manufacturers connected some of their M.2 slots to lanes CPU.
    God helped them to 2700X have 20 PCI-E lanes, 16 use CPU and 4 for M.2.
    That mean installing 3700X will increase their speed. God help when someone launch better products then expensive Intel.
    Intel didn't want as AMD to delay their upgrades after Skylake... They need just one CPU with 6 cores and one chipset after X99 is launched for mainstream. Because from side of performance improvements they didn't had reason to launch 3-4 chipsets and 3-4 generation. Probably even didn't planned. Problems with 10nm cause to Intel send on market so many revisions of 1151 LGA and Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Coffee Lake revision...
    This news is so much good for people who couldn't afford new motherboards, special because prices of X570.
    Now maybe even price of X570 drop. 
     
    No way that Intel would allow that. Intel would send direct order to ASUS, ASRock, MSI, GIGABYTE, stop people to install so much powerfull processors (one of them beat i9-9980XE) in old motherboards build for 1800X and 2700X. Like always, new processor, new chipset, new motherboards, even with same socket.
    Crucial in this success was decision to AMD launch 2700X with more then 16 PCI-E lanes and leave space to people for at least one system device connected to processor.
