That wasn't what I wanted to discuss, that was the topic I was responding to. You took it out of context and seemingly started your own conversation. This was the original argument:

Though there are no NVMe slots on any motherboard available now that are connected to PCIe 5.0 lanes slots. Who knows what the future brings, but that is not what we're talking about and is not the original argument. Which was

Theoretically there are a lot more things that are possible. The fact of the matter is, PCIe 5 isn't used for NVMe on any Z690 board and all the boards I have seen have one NVMe directly connected to the CPU 1x4 PCIe4 which was the whole topic of the discussion.

The PCIe 5 split doesn't support NVMe at all though, NVMe is always on PCIe 4, so the whole PCIe 5 topic is not relevant when it comes to NVMe. It doesn't support it and it doesn't have an impact on it.

This is what you said: And this is a 100% wrong. The x8 split that is allowed has nothing to do with NVMe ports.

Check that diagram a bit better and you see that there is a seperate "1x4 lanes PCIe 4.0" on the CPU. This is common knowledge and implemented like this on all motherboards I have seen (probably every motherboard, but I am not about to check every single on of them to be a 100% sure ;) ). My own...

One M.2 works directly on the CPU, the others work on the chipset.

That may well be the case, but only makes it worse for me. Everyone and his uncle will use CL16 maybe CL18 DDR4. That said, the test isn't representative for what people will be using and therefore not useful to the readers to find out what is what. Toms Hardware, Techpowerup and more sites are...

@ikjadoon Anadtech used CL22 DDR4 for some reason, looked like they wanted to have bad results on that front. CL16 or even 18 (which also comes close) is available at very good prices and perform near or better than DDR5 4800 sets. I haven't even seen CL22 DDR4 sets available for purchase.
