PCI 2.0's doubled-up speed boost was something to celebrate, but think
again if you're looking for such a bump with PCI Express 3.0. The PCI
SIG started eking out some details about the new standards, and as of
now it looks like PCI express 3.0 will see transfers speeds of
8-gigatransfers per second, compared to 2.0's 5.0-gigatransfers per
second. Channel width and transfer protocol will ultimately determine
the amount of information transferred, of course, so the new standard
could have some tricks up its sleeves. The good news is that PCI
Express 3.0 will use the same connector and will be
backwards-compatible with 2.0. PCI Express' specifications should be
complete in 2009 with a rollout in 2010, so don't go stressing about
your motherboard's I/O options just yet. Read | Permalink | Email this
