Why the need for PCI Express? As processor clock speeds increase, parallel buses such as PCI become harder to implement. Signal skew and fan-out restrictions restrict the bandwidth achievable on a ...

One of the most comprehensive refreshes of Intel architecture will start rolling out this summer. The PCI Express bus will replace current I/O interfaces, such as PCI for device interconnects and ...

The XIO2001 is a single-function PCI Express to PCI translation bridge that is fully compliant to the PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge Specification, Revision 1.0. For downstream traffic, the bridge ...

No matter what, system architects are always going to have to contend with one – and possibly more – bottlenecks when they design the machines that store and crunch the data that makes the world go ...

PCI Express is about to arrive. This new, high-speed serial interconnect technology at long last promises to bring traditionally slow I/O subsystems up to par with increasingly fast microprocessors, ...

Anyone who’s bought or researched buying a new SSD for their PC understands their limitations: they’re often constrained by the PCI Express bus to the rest of the PC, and they generate tons of heat.

For more than a decade the PCI bus has been the backbone of personal computers. Other systems, such as telephony and networking, adopted the technology for its cost and performance advantages. But now ...

The PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), developer of the PCI and PCI Express (PCIe) specifications, recently announced the PCIe External Cabling 1.0 Specification, which extends PCIe architecture ...

Specifications for two new interconnect technologies were released yesterday by the Peripheral Component Interconnect-Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), the group said in a press release (download PDF) ...

PCI Express (PCIe) is the fastest interface available to facilitate PC/FPGA communications. FPGA vendors have offered PCIe cores to harness this power for some time, but the cores are too rudimentary ...

The PCI standards group PCI-SIG (Special Interest Group) comprised of AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and other technology bigwigs announced it has finalized the specifications for the PCI Express 4.0 standard.

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. As expected, the PCI-SIG has announced the PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 specification. The 3.0 ...
