As I look back on 2019, I’m proud to report that it has been a banner year for PCI-SIG^®.

According to Tractica, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) markets are set to grow to $118.6 billion by 2025—as  these new technologies are becoming the heart of our digital lives.

Our PCI-SIG^® members have been hard at work. In 2017, we delivered PCI Express^® 4.0 with its 16 GT/s, while also diving headfirst into PCI Express 5.0 development – first announced at our annual PCI-SIG DevCon in June 2017.

From Israel to Europe and Japan to Taiwan, the PCI-SIG^® Israel, Europe and APAC 2019 Developers Conference tour has come to an end for the year.

PCI-SIG^® has enabled PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) technology to be cost-effective and easy to implement by supporting multiple form factors for a variety of applications.

The first installment of the PCI-SIG^® educational webinar series, “Retimers to the Rescue: PCI Express^® Specifications Reach Their Full Potential” premiered on October 9, 2019.

Retimers and redrivers have enabled longer physical channels in servers and storage systems since Peripheral Component Interface Express (PCIe^®) 3.0 specification was first introduced almost 10 years ago.

Earlier this month, I attended another eventful Flash Memory Summit (FMS) and I am pleased to say that PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) was around every corner at this year’s event.
