By Al Yanes, PCI-SIG President and Chairperson
PCI-SIG® is proud to announce that the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 8.0 specification, version 0.3, has received work group approval and is now available to members. The version 0.3 development milestone marks the completion of the first review draft of the specification and confirms that PCI-SIG is on track for a full PCIe 8.0 specification release by 2028. Members can access the PCIe 8.0 specification, version 0.3, in the members’ workspace.
Backed by three decades of a proven specification development process, PCI-SIG continues to deliver results that shape the future of the industry, including AI, high-speed networking, Edge computing, Quantum computing, and more. Thanks to the dedication of our work groups, we are leading the way with a high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect designed to power the next generation of technology.
PCIe 8.0 Specification Feature Objectives:
- Delivering 256.0 GT/s raw bit rate and up to 1.0 TB/s bi-directionally via x16 configuration
- Reviewing new connector technology
- Confirming latency and FEC targets will be achieved
- Ensuring reliability targets are met
- Maintaining backwards compatibility with previous generations of PCIe technology
- Developing protocol enhancements to improve bandwidth
- Continuing to emphasize techniques to reduce power
Our one-tier membership model means that every member company can contribute to the specification development process. If you are not yet a PCI-SIG member but would like to contribute to our work groups, we invite you to become a member today.
