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

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.

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.

This year’s Flash Memory Summit (FMS) is coming up on August 6. As PCI Express technologies continue to evolve and make strides in the industry, PCI-SIG^® is excited to highlight our participation in the growth of flash storage.

The SD Association (SDA) recently announced SD Express, which adds the PCI Express^® and NVMe™ interfaces to the SD interface. The PCIe^® interface delivers transfer rates up to 985 megabytes per second (MB/s) and supports backward compatibility with existing SD hosts.

Another PCI-SIG Developers Conference has come and gone, and we had a whopping 600+ member company attendees at this year’s event in Santa Clara.

I am pleased to announce that PCI Express^® 5.0 specification, Version 1.0— reaching 32GT/s transfer rates—has been released to our members in less than 2 years.

PCI-SIG^® is proud to announce that we have established a working relationship with DMTF to simplify hardware management.

This June 18-19, PCI-SIG and its 800+ member companies return to the Santa Clara Convention Center for the largest member event of the year: the Annual Members Meeting and Developers Conference.
