PCI Express 2.0 Ratified

Written by Michael Larabel in Intel on 16 January 2007 at 01:00 AM EST. Add A Comment

The PCI Express 2.0 specification has been ratified by the PCI Express Special Interest Group. The most notable benefit of PCI-E v2.0 is doubling the interconnect bit-rate to 5Gbps. With the PCI Express 2.0 standard, the bandwidth for a PCI Express x16 slot is now at 16Gbps! Other improvements in this latest standard include dynamic link speed management, link bandwidth notification, capability structure expansion, access control services, completion timeout control, function-level reset, and power limit redefinition. More on the PCI-E 2.0 specification can be read at PCI-SIG.
