The PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) recently provided an update on the development of future PCIe protocols. Progress remains steady with the release of the 0.5 draft.
Forward-looking: As consumers and hardware manufacturers adapt to PCIe 5.0, the connection standard’s regulatory body is preparing its two successors, PCIe 6.0 and 7.0. Neither was expected to reach end users anytime soon, and new roadblocks have delayed their implementation by a year.
The PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) recently provided an update on the development of future PCIe protocols. Progress remains steady with the release of the 0.5 draft specification for PCIe 7.0, but the compliance programs for both PCIe 6.0 and 7.0 have been delayed.
Final specifications for PCIe 6.0 were released in early 2022. The following year, the PCI-SIG released version 0.3 draft specifications for PCIe 7.0, along with a projected launch schedule for the compliance programs for 6.0 and 7.0 – the point where real-world products begin emerging for each standard.
