Following the release of the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0 specification to members earlier this year, PCI-SIG® had the unique opportunity to participate in three IT industry podcasts.

With the ever-growing importance of security, we continue to see strong industry interest in Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE). As with any new technology, questions have been raised and addressed through new errata.

Introduction

For nearly three decades, PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology has served as the de facto high bandwidth, low latency interconnect. As the industry evolves to meet the needs of data-intensive applications, the PCIe specification has kept pace, enabling future innovation.

We are pleased to commence 2022 on a high note with the official release of the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0 specification to members.

I am excited to report that PCI-SIG has released PCIe 6.0 specification, version 0.9 to our members. This is a major milestone in our continued effort to double the data rate of the PCI Express® specifications while maintaining backwards compatibility.

The CXL™ Consortium and PCI-SIG® are excited to announce a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the two organizations.
