I was looking for FPGA with PCIe Hard IPs. And I found some FPGAs with more than one Hard IPs. what is the advantage of having more than one Hard IPs in a single FPGA?
Why there are two or more PCIe Hard IPs in some FPGAs

You need several HardIPs for:
Common cores support up to 8 lanes and Gen2. More lanes are possible but need a Soft-IPCore. Also Gen3 is mostly provided as a Soft-IPCore.
