As of right now, the fastest PCI Express protocol available on consumer motherboards is PCI Express 5.0, which offers up to 128GB/s of bi-directional x16 bandwidth. While certainly fast, PCI Express 7 ...

When people spec out a motherboard, they look at its PCIe generation numbers, VRMs, chipset lanes, and connectivity. What ...

PCIe 5.0 has a lot of bandwidth to tap, but it’s been a year with nothing to use it with. With the introduction of Nvidia’s PCIe 4.0-only graphics card and stories of upcoming PCIe 5.0 SSDs needing ...

SSDs Micron isn't done with consumer SSDs after all, unveiling a PCIe 5.0 QLC drive that should be both affordable *and* fast Graphics Cards MSI's monstrous 1000 W watercooled RTX 5090 has been ...

Something to look forward to: While many consumers are still acclimating to the differences between PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0, and PCIe 5.0 SSDs are starting to hit the market, the PCI-SIG consortium this ...

In a nutshell: The PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), the organization responsible for defining PCI Express standards, is nearing completion of the PCIe 7.0 specification. If everything proceeds as ...

PCI-SIG initially announced the next-generation PCIe 7.0 standard back in 2022, but now the organization behind the PCIe standards -- PCI-SIG, duh -- has announced version 0.5 of PCIe 7.0, now ...

As expected, by 2028 your PC will be internally passing a terabyte’s worth of data per second as part of PCI Express 8.0. The PCI Special Interest Group said Tuesday that the PCIe 8 specification is ...

Despite PCIe 4.0 SSDs and other devices only being on the market for a few years now, before you know it we may be slotting PCIe 7.0 components into our gaming PCs. And if you think NVMe drives are ...

The PCI Special Interest Group (SIG) managing the development of the PCIexpress interface has announced that the official specification for PCIe 8 will be ratified in 2028, and if you look closely, it ...

because they want more bandwidth, options or capabilities. I mean laptops haven't had internal PCIe expansion slots for decades (if ever) however specs are still important to consumers or at least ...
