So here we can spot the PCI-Express slots a bit better. These are configured as:

  • 44-Lane CPU
    • 3 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16, x16/x16, x16/x16/x8) 
    • 2 x PCIe 3.0 x4 (max at x4 mode) 
  • 28-Lane CPU
    • 3 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 ( x16, x16/x8, x16/x8/x4) 
    • 2 x PCIe 3.0 x4 (max at x4 mode) 
  • 16-Lane CPU
    • 3 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16, x8/x8, x8/x8/x1) 
    • 2 x PCIe 3.0 x4 (max at x4 mode) 

Again, your choice in processor will define how many PCI-Express lanes you'll get, currently only the Core i9 7900 will support a full 44 lane configuration.
