The PCI-SIG® Developers Conference returned to Taipei, Taiwan for the first time since 2019 on Feb. 20-21 at the Taipei Marriott Hotel. With 674 total attendees, it was the highest-ever turnout for a DevCon.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since PCI-SIG® formed in 1992.

PCI-SIG® has continued to host PCI Express® (PCIe®) Compliance Workshops throughout 2021 as we recognize that they are an important member benefit.

Wow, 2020 sure has transformed the ways we connect, learn and innovate in industries around the world, and in our daily lives!

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.

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.

On January 22, 2019, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued an emergency directive to mitigate DNS infrastructure tampering intended to disrupt and redirect government and business communications.

PCI-SIG has built its reputation on delivering high quality PCI Express^® (PCIe) specifications that have doubled bandwidth on average every three years, while maintaining full backwards compatibility with prior generations.
