The Evolution of PCIe® Standards and Test Requirements

백서

Designers of data center systems and devices face ever-increasing demands to provide faster speeds. Ethernet network interfaces in data centers are moving to speeds of 800 gigabits per second (Gbps) and will likely double in the coming years. The Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) 6.0 standard, the standard’s latest iteration, will enable the mass adoption of 800 gigabit Ethernet (GE) technologies in the data center.

 

PCIe is a core technology that many types of computer servers and endpoint devices use. The PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG®) defines specifications and compliance tests that guarantee the interoperability of PCIe systems. PCIe 6.0 provides full-duplex bandwidth of approximately 256 Gbps for a 16-lane system.
