ES CPU often lacks many features, and it seems different models might be missing various functionalities. Based on what I remember, the 12th generation typically doesn't include full PCIe support, only partial.

I haven't come across anything about this. Removing all PCIe support seems unlikely, and it's hard to confirm any details. There aren't many reliable sources backing that idea.

I remembered incorrectly, it wasn't the CPU but the motherboard that might fit. I saw it in a post by Ronothan. Still, ES CPUs seem too dangerous to purchase.

They had to use the PCH lanes through the CPU since the native PCIe paths were turned off. ES CPUs come with risks. You might find one that works fully, particularly with newer QS CPUs, but usually it's just a placeholder for board manufacturers to test compatibility. In some cases, you could end up with something like Linus—an expensive, ineffective component if the board lacks support for its BIOS.
