> It seems that Alder Lake no longer support x8/x4/x4 sadly.

I would be very surprised if the silicon doesn't still support 8+4+4 operation. I suspect the lack of available motherboards with this config comes down to the expense of getting a PCIe gen5 signal to reach the third slot. It may require both the extra mux and a redriver or retimer.



I found this from quick Googling https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/does-pro-z690-a-a...

Perhaps why they dropped the support is because the reason you wrote? Still I wonder is it possible to have Gen5 x8 and Gen3 x4/x4.
