Detailed explanation-1: -PCI Express slots on a motherboard. PCIe can scale from one to 32 separate lanes; it is usually deployed with 1, 4, 8, 12, 16 or 32 lanes.
Detailed explanation-2: -PCIe slots come in different physical configurations: x1, x4, x8, and x16. The number after x tells you how many lanes (how data travels to and from the PCIe card–more on that later) that the PCIe slot has. For example, a PCIe x1 slot has one lane and can move data at one bit per cycle.
Detailed explanation-3: -If your PCIe interface is a PCIe 4.0 x8, that means it can handle PCIe 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 devices with up to eight different lanes. You’ll be able to do more with less in this case, since a PCIe 4.0 x8 slot can handle almost exactly what a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot can currently handle.
Detailed explanation-4: -Presently, there are three main PCI motherboard connectors (usually referred to as “slots".) Each PCI slot type looks different, and accepts different devices.
