In early 2022, PCI-SIG® released the full version of the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0 specification.

The PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification will feature two primary mechanisms to correct errors: Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). Each 256-byte FLIT comprises of 242 bytes of payload which are protected by 8 Bytes of CRC.

The upcoming PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification will continue PCI-SIG’s^® longstanding history of innovation for the next generation of products to keep up with evolving needs in a wide range of markets.

One of the many new features included in the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) specification will be PAM4 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation with 4 levels) signaling.

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

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

PCI Express^® – also known as PCIe – used to get a bad rap for being power hungry on servers and PCs. But I’m happy to say that this is no longer the case. Are you aware that PCIe today is extremely power efficient with built-in low power features?
