While you are really diggin' that PCI-Express 4.0 slot of yours, the design for 5.0 has been finished, and wait for it, yep ... PCIe 6.0 is in full development and is to be finalized as a standard in 2021 already.
PCI-SIG; This year has been challenging for us all and we hope that you and your families are staying healthy and safe. Despite the trials that we have faced, PCI-SIG® is adapting our events and workshops to these new times and pressing on in specification development. From ushering our Developers Conferences into the virtual age or developing modified virtual Compliance Workshops, PCI-SIG has continued to prioritize members education and engagement in 2020.
Perhaps our most exciting announcement is in a continued effort to double the bandwidth of our PCI Express® (PCIe®) specifications, PCI-SIG has officially released the PCIe 6.0 Specification, Version 0.7 to our members.

We have many educational resources available for both PCI-SIG members and non-members. If you haven’t yet watched it, I invite you to view Debendra Das Sharma’s highly attended PCIe 6.0 specification webinar deep dive. Because of the overwhelming support and interest this webinar received, Debendra has also developed various blogs answering audience questions on advanced specification features like PAM4, L0P and FEC.
