Specifications for two new interconnect technologies were released yesterday by the Peripheral Component Interconnect-Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), the group said in a press release (download PDF) ...

The latest PCI Express technology links the PCIE-PCIX-72 expansion system with PCI-X systems. A 4x PCI Express adapter plugs into a PCI-X slot. A PCI Express cable then links the adapter to a 5U 19-in ...

PCI-Express, commonly referred to as PCI-E, and PCI-X are both technology standards designed to improve upon the older PCI standard. Despite the similarity of their names, these two standards are ...

PCI and PCI-X are not directly compatible, and you’d be forgiven for thinking that means you’re out of luck if you need to use a PCI-X card in a machine that only has basic PCI slots. And yet, that ...

As the I/O interconnect world has transitioned from PCI to PCI Express (PCIe), bridge ICs have filled a critical role: to allow designers to continue to use existing PCI and PCI-X endpoints in ...

Currently dominating the desktop PC motherboard and graphics markets, the PCI Express protocol is poised to supplant PCI and PCI-X interface as the dominant high-bandwidth interconnect for the server, ...

A new technology for connecting PCs to peripherals and other computers will bear fruit in 2004, but it won't conquer the industry overnight. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where ...

Conventional PCI and PCI-X computer slots have four supply voltages available: +12, +5, +3.3, and ­12 V. PCI and PCI-X cards rely on +5 V and +3.3 V for most of the power and are limited to 500 mA of ...

Moore’s Law might be slowing down CPU compute capacity increases in recent years, but the innovation has been coming at a steady drumbeat for the interconnects used inside servers and between nodes in ...

Big-name computing companies have begun speaking out in favor of the PCI-X technology for plugging network cards and other devices into servers. IBM and Hewlett-Packard will start incorporating PCI-X ...

PCI-SIG has announced that PCIe 4.0 specification is finished -- and it plans to have PCIe 5.0 ready to go by 2019. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new window) Share ...

In a press release in my inbox, the PCI-SIG PR representative said that PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 6.0 internal and external cable specifications are currently in development and are "targeted for release" in ...
