Servers are challenged to process more intricate and diverse types of workloads in cloud, hybrid-cloud and enterprise data centers.

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.

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.

PCI-SIG has built its reputation on delivering high quality PCI Express^® (PCIe) specifications that have doubled bandwidth on average every three years, while maintaining full backwards compatibility with prior generations.

Press conference on June 5 to announce PCIe 5.0 spec updates
