If the datacenter had been taken over by InfiniBand, as was originally intended back in the late 1990s, then PCI-Express peripheral buses and certainly PCI-Express switching – and maybe even Ethernet ...

Moore’s Law might be slowing down CPU compute capacity increases in recent years, but the innovation has been coming at a steady drumbeat for the interconnects used inside servers and between nodes in ...

PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is quietly entering both the PC and embedded-computing markets, lifting the bus-bandwidth limitations of PCI without compromising legacy ...

With an insatiable appetite for higher data rates, the PC industry is poised to double the speed of the PCI Express (PCIe) bus to 5 Gbps. PCIe 2.0, the latest version of the peripheral data bus, will ...

The PCI Express 6.0 standard has officially made its debut, meaning that Apple's Mac Pro — released in 2019 — is now several generations behind what's currently available. On Tuesday, PCI-SIG — the ...

PCI-Express, commonly referred to as PCI-E, and PCI-X are both technology standards designed to improve upon the older PCI standard. Despite the similarity of their names, these two standards are ...

If you are trying to learn about FPGAs, there is only so far you can go with the usual blinking lights and VGA outputs. Eventually, you want to do something more. Although not terribly cheap, you can ...

Most enthusiasts know that a PC’s CPU will throttle down to prevent overheating. GPUs and even most PCIe 50. SSDs ship with huge heat sinks and blowers. But the latest casualty of thermal throttling ...

The standards body responsible for the PCI Express bus is cruising right along towards PCI Express 6.0, the next-generation standard that is still on track for a finalized specification in 2021. As ...
