This article title is BS. PCIe is alive and well. We just need it for less things because a lot of good stuff is already on board and it now appears in more form factors namely Thunderbolt and M.2.
We will still need it for graphics, fast SSDs, fibre channel and 10G Ethernet etc
- structural 4y agoThe title is accurate, though. The use of PCIe is exploding everywhere, but we're putting it in every other interface and the "PCIe expansion card" connector and form factor is seeing relatively less use overall.
