Every year, we take the opportunity to look back and reflect on all PCI-SIG® has accomplished as an organization and community in the advancement and promotion of PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology over the previous year.

As Moore’s Law slows down and approaches its scalability limits due to semiconductor equipment limitations, the industry needs to seek new solutions to boost the performance and efficiency of CPUs.

Progress continues on the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 7.0 specification, which PCI-SIG® announced at US DevCon in June 2022.

PCI-SIG® is pleased to share the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 7.0 specification, version 0.3 is now available to members. Version 0.3 of the specification indicates that the first review draft of the specification is complete and has received work group approval.

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?
