Summary:
- The PCI-SIG (Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group) has announced the development of the PCIe 7.0 specification, which will offer a transfer rate of up to 128 GT/s (Gigatransfers per second).
- This new specification represents a significant improvement over the current PCIe 6.0 standard, which has a maximum transfer rate of 64 GT/s.
- The PCIe 7.0 specification will also introduce the first PCIe optical solution, allowing for longer cable lengths and improved signal integrity, making it suitable for data centers and other high-performance computing applications.
