- ^ More likely need a BIOS update if the motherboard was manufactured in a earlier date.
- ^ Support for Gen5 speeds on lanes directly from CPU to expansion and M.2 slots, and general-purpose lanes. (Also depends on CPU PCIe support. Some CPUs have as low as 10 lanes of PCIe 4.0 available.)
- ^ The "first" M.2 slot.
- ^ Some motherboards connect GPP lanes to a second M.2 slot.
- ^ PCIe lanes provided by the chipset. The CPU provides other PCIe 5.0 and/or 4.0 lanes.
- ^ a b Provided by a third-party controller.
- ^ AMD did not mandate which Wi-Fi version should be paired with which chipset (unlike USB4 is mandatory with some chipsets). Motherboard makers may omit Wi-Fi on some models.
- ^ a b Two Promontory 21 chipsets are present, each having a TDP of ~7 W, giving a total TDP of ~14 W.
