Phoenix2 APUs like the R3 8300G and R5 8500G are the worst offenders in the ‘cutting PCIe lanes’ department. The R5 8500G only has 14 lanes, for example. The FX-8350 and 8370 from a decade earlier, had 32 lanes available, plus whatever the chipset supported, but they were all PCIe 2 as AM3+ was a PCIe 2 platform.
