PCIe 6.0 Spec Release Date on Track, Version 0.5 Announced

[erek]

Anyone looking forward to PCIe 6.0?

"The biggest areas that will benefit from faster PCIe, at least initially, are high-computing platforms, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. It will likely take significantly longer before individual consumers start leveraging the increase in bandwidth.

PCI-SIG will share more details at its upcoming Developers Conference on June 3 and 4."

So fast it won't even need device interrupts for everything to share one PCIe lane.

No worries at the current speed we'll get pci-e5 in around 10 years. Thus pci-e6 will hit in around 20years (2040)
