The USB 3.1/3.2 ports on motherboards typically employ PCIe lanes for data transfer, offering faster speeds compared to older standards. This setup provides a more efficient "route" for high-bandwidth connections.

Usually controllers are included either in the processor itself or the chipset (minimum, without relying on external PCIe lanes). Early motherboards (before chipset/CPU 3.0 compatibility) would employ PCIe lanes for a dedicated controller.

It incorporates PCIe lanes, though the number of lanes changes based on the port count it supports.
