Doubling Bandwidth in Under Two Years: PCI Express Base Specification Revision 5.0, Version 0.9 is Now Available to Members

Our PCI-SIG® members have been hard at work. In 2017, we delivered PCI Express® 4.0 with its 16 GT/s, while also diving headfirst into PCI Express 5.0 development – first announced at our annual PCI-SIG DevCon in June 2017. With data-hungry applications like artificial intelligence, machine learning, enterprise servers and more, growing in popularity and capabilities, we knew that it was only a matter of time before the market would demand greater bandwidth.

Thanks to the diligence and dedication of our workgroups, I’m pleased to announce that the feature complete PCIe® 5.0, Version 0.9 has now been published to members. This is a great indicator that PCI-SIG will be able to meet its goal of doubling bandwidth—from 16 GT/S to 32 GT/s—in a record less than two years.
