I thought intel 11th gen had 24 lanes?

Rocket lake leaks

20 usable, 4 are for the Chipset, Comet Lake had 20 with only 16 usable.
this confirms what @Robert896r1 was saying in his post.
Probably, what did he say?
he said 11700k is down on 5800x & 9900k in games.
Others have said this too, lets see.

16 for GPU and 4 for M.2 and another 4 M.2 from chipset? all pcie gen 4 spped on rocket lake?
Cheers
Close yes, 24 On the CPU, 16 for the GPU, 4 for the M.2 (that will be the one closest to the CPU socket) the remaining 4 are to power the Chip Set, they are not available to the system. Don't know how many will be on the chip set. enough for another M.2 or two.
This is the same layout at Zen 2 and Zen 3. (24 Total, 16 GPU, 4 M.2, 4 Chip set, another 16 on the Chip set, X570)

If I did get one I would use a gpu and x2 m.2’s pcie gen 4. Thanks for the info humbug.
That should be fine, the GPU and first M.2 will be powered by the CPU, the second M.2 by the Chip Set.
Its worth noting, on the AMD side B550 do not have PCIe 4 on the Chip Set, only X570, so lower end (B560?) might not have PCIe4 on the Chip Set, you should look at, as i'm sure you will, Z590.

I have a z590 already. Thanks for helping mate
No amount of microcode updates can fix a **** CPU, mate. That's not "odd" behaviour, that's just Rocket Lake. Accept it, move on and stop pestering us with your incessant trolling. Hell, at the very least jump on the Alder Lake bandwagon, at least that one has some potential.
Just to clarify what was said, he said the 11700k is down on the 9900k/5800x when the 9900k/5800x is paired with fast RAM and overclocked - thisnis because the 11700k doesn't overclock well, owners are getting about 4.9ghz all core which is 200-400 less than the 9900k and because the 11700k became a unstable at high memory clock speeds and because it cannot achieve good memory stability it's stuck with higher memory latency than the 9900k
So yeah the 11700k has higher IPC than the 9900k/10700k BUT it has lower clock speed and higher memory latency and right now that makes it slower in games
The big question is stock. AMD have no stock of the 5900x, or 5950x, so if Intel get ample stock of Rocket Lake on the shelves, they've won the high end with the 11900k, since AMD have a paper launch for those two sku's.
So far we've seen that Intel has shipped mass amounts of 11700k to retailers, especially in Germany where a few retailers broke NDA and sold them already!
March 30th is rumoured.
Everything seems to be waiting on Intel releasing the final Microcode (contained in UEFI) update which will finalize clocks, boosting algorithm and fix any bugs and improve overclocking. It's for this reason that leaked benchmarks are to be taken with a pinch of salt until the official reviews land.
