As the complexity of computer workloads in the automotive market increase, so does the sophistication of computers in vehicles, along with the interconnect performance requirements. A unique emerging challenge is Automotive Functional Safety (FuSA).

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

PCI-SIG^® in 2022: A Year to Celebrate

By Mihaela Erler and Scott Knowlton, PCI-SIG MWG Co-Chairs

During the PCI-SIG® US DevCon 2022, the PCI-SIG Board of Directors surprised two individuals for their years of service and contributions to the development and expansion of PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology.

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.
