While not fully true, they may not be able to make a chipset that supports full PCIe x16 lanes (two each).
With first and second gen pcie cards, 16x wasnt necessary as they couldnt take advantage of the extra bandwidth. Nowadays however, the newer cards thrive with that extra bandwidth. I guess Intel feels a small performance hit wont hurt anyone.
And for the life of me, I would like to know why the bearlake chipset isnt capable of full 16X PCIe lanes. Any Intel knowers out there able to shed light on this?
