Question Question on PCIe Lanes

I`m wanting to do a new build but after investigating the 1700 sockets and the 1851 socket, I found that the PCIe lanes are lower than my 2066 socket. The 1700 have 20 lanes and the 1851 at most have 28 lanes. I had a I7 7820X with 28 lanes and it was average but when I went to the I7 9800X with 44 lanes it was day and night. What I`m concerned about is getting an I7 12700KF and it is slowing things down.

What’s are you actually doing?

Also the chipset also has PCIE lanes. The Z690 that fhe 12700KF plug into has 28 lanes and rhe CPU itself has 20 lanes (16 for GPU and 4 for SSD)

So that is what I needed to know, I don`t want to spend alot money and end up with a PC that is slower than what I got. I have a X299 Raider w/ I7 9800X and 32gigs of ram. This rig that I currently have is fast so I need to know will the Socket 1700 will accompany the GPU(RTX 4080) with two SSD m.2 drives? From what it looks like, it will not.
 
Not two ssds directly connected to cpu, no. Chipset performance running the second ssd is just as good, i doubt you'll notice a difference. What you'll notice more of is superior performance in itself from the actual platform upgrade.
