With PCIe lanes being at a premium in current systems, especially with the advent of the m.2 nvme drives, which were first developed, produced and promoted by Intel, why hasn't Intel increased the number PCIe lanes in their mainstream processors, hell for that matter a few more on the i9s couldn't hurt, could they?
I mean is it mostly a matter of doing so would increase the complexity and cost of their CPUs, or are they simply refusing to add them to their mainstream CPUs so as to allow their extreme edition CPUs to maintain their numerical advantage in PCIe lanes?
