And what awaits us in the future?
What is PCIe 6.0 and what's the difference?
PCIe 4.0 motherboards are only now starting to ship to customers, but that’s not slowing down the development of this crucial peripheral connectivity standard. PCIe 6.0 is already on the table, offering tangible improvements over the current cutting-edge standard.
With PCIe becoming increasingly important in computers of all shapes and sizes, it’s worth taking a look at what PCIe is, what it’s used for, and what the new PCIe 6.0 has to offer in the future.
PCIe is short for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express. Some readers who have been around computers for a while may remember the old PCI standard, but PCIe is to the original PCI standard what a jet fighter is to a paper airplane.
