PCI-SIG® today announced a new optical interconnect specification revision to enable higher PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology performance. The Optical Aware Retimer Engineering Change Notice (ECN) amends the PCIe 6.4 specification and the new PCIe 7.0 specification to include a PCIe retimer-based solution, providing the first industry standardized way to implement PCIe technology over optical fiber.

PCI-SIG® today announced the official release of the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 7.0 specification, reaching 128.0 GT/s, to members. PCIe 7.0 specification targets data-driven applications like AI/ML, 800G Ethernet, cloud, and Quantum computing. Pathfinding for the PCIe 8.0 specification is already in progress to continue supporting the industry’s investments and product roadmaps in the PCIe technology ecosystem.

PCI-SIG®, the organization responsible for the widely adopted PCI Express® (PCIe®) standard, today announced that it has reached 1,000 member companies. PCIe technology was first introduced in 2003 and is a key I/O interconnect for the storage industry and beyond. PCI-SIG, which marked 30 years of innovation in 2022, celebrates this achievement in anticipation of the forthcoming PCIe 7.0 specification, targeted for member release in 2025.

PCI-SIG®, the organization responsible for the widely adopted PCI Express® (PCIe®) standard, today announced the release of the CopprLink™ Internal and External Cable specifications. The CopprLink Cable specifications provide signaling at 32.0 and 64.0 GT/s and leverage well-established industry standard connector form factors maintained by SNIA.

PCI-SIG® today announced the availability of PCI-SIG Authorized Test Labs (ATLs) providing PCI Express® (PCIe®) testing and a process for members to become an official testing lab. Authorized Test Labs serve as another vehicle for PCI-SIG members to obtain a listing on the PCI-SIG Integrators List and the option to test their PCIe technology products outside official Compliance Workshops. Granite River Labs (GRL) is approved as the first PCIe Authorized Test Lab to provide PCIe 4.0 Compliance Testing for PCI-SIG members.

PCI-SIG® today announced the formation of a new workgroup to deliver PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology over optical connections. The PCI-SIG Optical Workgroup intends to be optical technology-agnostic, supporting a wide range of optical technologies, while potentially developing technology-specific form factors.

PCI-SIG Developers Conference 2023 – PCI-SIG® announced today new findings from an ABI Research report projecting PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology TAM growing at a CAGR of 14% from 2022 to 2027 in high-growth verticals including data centers, edge, telcos, AI, automotive, mobile devices and wearables.

PCI-SIG Developers Conference 2022 – PCI-SIG® today announced that the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 7.0 specification will double the data rate to 128 GT/s and is targeted for release to members in 2025.

PCI-SIG®, the organization responsible for the widely adopted PCI Express® (PCIe®) standard, today announced the official release of the PCIe 6.0 specification, reaching 64 GT/s.
