From the project

Cooler/cuter riser for Lenovo 8th/9th gen Tiny5 PCs

Exposes the x8 and x4 PCIe links in the riser slot, in the form of a PCIe x16 slot and an m.2 slot.

The x8 link comes from the CPU and was meant for GPU equipped models, while the x4 link comes from the PCH and was meant for the Thunderbolt and NIC equipped models. Lenovo made two different risers for these configurations, only using one link at a time, but this riser gives you both PCIe links at once! The two links are completely independent and are able to function at the same time.
