I am happy to share that PCI-SIG^® has begun developing the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification, targeted for release in 2021.

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.

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.

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

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! 

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.

The PCI-SIG Serial Enabling Workgroup (called the “SEG” for short) is the PCI-SIG workgroup charged with running the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) compliance program.

By now, you probably know about the PCI-SIG Developers Conference which we hold in Santa Clara each year – a free event for our 750+ member companies with four tracks of presentations over two days.
