Yeah, the overhead isn't a big deal now that the overhead is single digit. Back when it was 20% in PCIe 2 it was a much bigger discrepancy.

- Dylan16807 2y agoBack then they were adding the overhead on top of the baseline speed, not subtracting it. With 1 and 2 you got the full 1/4 and 1/2 gbps of data per lane, but then 3 was only .985 instead of 1. So I'd argue that 6% for PCIe 6 and 7 is the most meaningful the overhead has ever been.
