Although not a consumable product, PCI-Special Interest Group (SIG) has announced the release of the PCIe 6.0 specification. Brian hosts Al Yanes who is the President and Chairman of the PCI-SIG and a long-time IBMer. Al is focused on the IO piece of the technology and probably knows more about PCIe than most.

Brian hosts Al Yanes who is the President and Chairman of the PCI-SIG and a long-time IBMer. Al is focused on the IO piece of the technology and probably knows more about PCIe than most.
The PCIe Gen6 specification adds new features while meeting industry demand for a high-speed, low-latency interconnect. PCIe 6.0 specification, with a 64 GT/s raw data rate, will pave the way for rapid innovation in emerging markets like the Data Center, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, HPC, Automotive, IoT, and Military/Aerospace.
Topics covered include design aspects, profiles, and what system changes are needed to take advantage of this new release. We wrote up a news piece and posted that here.
