It's a standard COTS part.
Coincidentally, the PCIe 5.0 variant is in "Samples available", i.e. not full production yet, which is very likely the reason for this card only being PCIe 4.0.

- rasz 4y agoDoesnt help that PM42100 is $7.5K and out of stock.
- eqvinox 4y agoThat's the price of the development/evaluation kit. Those are produced in small numbers, have provisions for everything and debugging the kitchen sink, and thus always this expensive. With the PM40100 being $800 (single unit, no bulk pricing), the PM41100 / PM42100 are probably < $1500. (They do seem to have more features, not quite clear without proper datasheet sadly.)
