Wow, it's like the PCIe Forum woke up and decided to invent in the last two years the same amount of standards they made over the last fifteen.

- tinco 5y agoI think PCIe bandwidth has suddenly become super relevant. It used to be that videogames were not bottlenecked by PCIe bandwidth, and GPUs were the most data intensive thing on the bus. Nowadays there's all sorts of business cases that require high bandwidth, and the devices to fill them also exist. From NVMe arrays to crazy interconnects to hyper connected machine learning accelerators, PCIe is enabling it all.

- ksec 5y agoNot strictly true. The only thing that got huge delay was 4.0, which was due to technical difficulties. 5.0 is by and large an extension of 4.0, and arrived roughly on schedule. PCI-E 6.0 was in research for long because they knew 5.0 would be the end of the way things were working previously.
