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.

The upcoming PCIe® 6.0 specification introduces Flow Control Unit (FLIT) encoding, which enables the specification to provide low latency with high efficiency. FLIT mode is adopted for the PCIe 6.0 architecture because error correction needs to operate on fixed sized packets.

With the widespread adoption of compute-intensive workloads – such as artificial intelligence and machine learning – in enterprise and cloud data centers, high-speed, low-latency interconnects like PCI Express^® architecture are required to connect high-performance nodes.

Despite the many challenges in 2020, we are proud to report that it has been a successful year for, PCI-SIG^®.  We continued the momentum started in 2019 with PCIe^® 4.0 Compliance Testing, continued work on the PCIe 6.0 specification, and brought our members new ways to engag

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

PCI-SIG^® has shifted to virtual events for the 2020 calendar year and our first major members event was the Virtual PCI-SIG Developers Conference.

For almost two decades, the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) architecture has offered low latency and high bandwidth in support of next generation systems.
