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.

his year, I was lucky enough to be able to attend and present at the Open Compute Project Summit and though it has come and gone by now, I’m already looking forward to the next one! 

This is already shaping up to be a busy year for PCI-SIG^® with the pending release of the PCI Express^® 5.0 specification targete

I’m happy to share that 2018 has been another productive year for PCI-SIG. In addition to significant progress in our specification development and compliance work, we also continued to provide educational resources to our members and the industry.

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.

Whew, what a week! That’s another PCI-SIG Developers Conference in the books though.

After successfully releasing PCIe^® 4.0 Specification Version 1.0 last October, the members of the PCI-SIG^® have been heads down and hard at work to ensure PCIe 5.0 specification is made a reality by 2019.

Press conference on June 5 to announce PCIe 5.0 spec updates

I’m pleased to share that PCI-SIG has released the PCIe 4.0 Specification Version 1.0 and it is now available for download on our website.
