[SOLVED] Is MSI’s Lightning PCIE-E 4 faster than regular PCI-E 4?

[Deleted member 2808222]

I‘m wondering if the PCI Express on MSI’s new X570 motherboard has a faster data transfer rate compared to any other regular motherboard with PCI-E 4. MSI seem to advertise it as “Lightning Gen 4 PCI-E”

MSI Lightning Gen 4 PCI-E is the latest and the fastest PCI-E data transfer solution with 64GB/s of unidirectional transfer bandwidth that has doubled compared to its previous generation. PCIe 4.0 maintains both backward and forward compatibility with older and newer specifications. Optimized by steel armor design and server grade PCB, you can enjoy next-gen devices without any compromise.

PCIe 4.0 has a 16 GT/s data rate, compared to its predecessor’s 8 GT/s. In addition, each PCIe 4.0 lane configuration supports double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0, maxing out at 32 GB/s in a 16-lane slot, or 64 GB/s with bidirectional travel considered.

No, its regular old PCIe 4. Its just marketing
