The PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) has released the PCIe 7.0 specification, boasting a theoretical bandwidth of 512GB per second in both directions over a x16 connection. This new version continues the trend of doubling IO bandwidth approximately every three years, focusing primarily on the needs of data-intensive applications such as AI, hyperscale data centers, and military sectors. While PCIe 7.0 promises backward compatibility with prior versions, its application in consumer products remains distant, especially following the slow adoption of PCIe 5.0. Future prospects include the early development of PCIe 8.0.
PCIe technology has served as the high-bandwidth, low-latency IO interconnect of choice for over two decades and we are pleased to announce the release of the PCIe 7.0 specification.
As artificial intelligence applications continue to scale rapidly, the next generation of PCIe technology meets the bandwidth demands of data-intensive markets deploying AI, including hyperscale data centers, high performance computing (HPC), automotive, and military/aerospace.
