Hey Guys,

Anyone know how many PCIe lanes are available to the M.2 slots on Devil's Canyon? I know on a normal motherboard all M.2 would be behind the PCH which means they share a single x4 connection, but I was hoping that due to the lack of discrete GPU that Intel gave each M.2 its own connection directly to the CPU. Can anyone clarify this for me? Cheers,

Craig

Here's the block diagram for the NUC6i7KYK. Unfortunately, it looks like Intel doesn't care too much about bandwidth.

Seems so incredibly lazy to me from a design perspective to rot that many PCIe lanes. I believe there are 16 addressable and only four appear to be in use?

Boooooh Intel (again).
