Most EPYCs have 128 PCIe lanes, so I'd expect a full x16 link for all six GPUs.

Pedantically, the combined bidirectional bandwidth of PCIe x16 is ~64 GB/s, as it's a full-duplex ~32 GB/s link, but that's an awfully misleading spec if this is the intent (akin to claiming Gigabit Ethernet is 2 Gb/sec).

It's the same way NVIDIA states bandwidth for PCIe and NVLink.
