PCI-SIG has announced its latest technology for the computer peripheral industry, called PCI Express 7.0, or PCIe 7.0, which delivers a breakthrough in data transfer speeds of up to 512 gigabits per second.
The American organization had revealed PCIe 5.0 in 2017, which began to appear only a few months ago, and which worked efficiently with processors from AMD and others from Intel, and also announced for the first time about the sixth generation in a few years ago and is expected to arrive next year.
In a statement published by the organization, it confirmed the discovery of new technologies in the connectivity ports of computers, the seventh generation of PCIe, which provides data transfer speeds of up to 512 gigabits per second.
It is expected that companies will start implementing processors that are compatible with modern technology, then the testing phase and provide the necessary components, and so it is expected that they will most likely officially reach users by 2027.
PCIe 7.0 will use PAM4 signaling, which was introduced with version 6.0, the new generation will focus on improving work efficiency in line with power, maintaining lower latency, all while delivering standard speed.
The report indicated that the near future will bring devices capable of offering impressive data transfer speeds, as each generation of PCIe almost doubles the speed of the previous generation, this means that version v6.0 is twice as fast as PCIe 5.0, which will soon reach everyone in new computers, while it will be Version 7.0 is four times faster than version 5.0.
In numbers, 7G will transmit up to 32Gbps through a single link which is approximately 16 times the speed offered by PCIe 3rd generation and is the most popular in devices around the world today.
