Now that the entire line of Alder Lake processors has been released, I'm even more confused. According to the specs from ark.intel.com: Core i9/i9K: 8 P-Cores + 8 E-Cores / 30MB L3 / 14MB L2 Core i7/i7K: 8 P-Cores + 4 E-Cores / 25MB L3 / 12MB L2 Core i5K: 6 P-Cores + 4 E-Cores / 20MB...

No, that would be H610. As @DRagor stated earlier, the higher-end chipsets can accommodate A LOT more than that.

The first PCIe slot (closest to the CPU socket) is often connected directly to the CPU which has it's own PCIe controller and a certain amount of lanes, so if you install just one GPU, the chipset's lane count is irrelevant It becomes relevant if you want to add another GPU and/or any other...

There's a mismatch between the article and the info on ark.intel.com The article states that the H610 chipset has 8 PCIe 3.0 lanes According to ark.intel.com, it has 12 lanes: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/218829/intel-h610-chipset.html#tab-blade-1-0-4
