PCIE 7.0 has been announced and offers super fast speeds for the components in your PC – but is not yet excited

- The spec for PCIE 7.0 has been announced
- It is a new standard for even faster – incredibly fast – connections with PCIE components in your PC
- However, the standard is still in the earliest phases and will not be here for a long time (PCIE 6.0 has not yet arrived completely)
PCIE (PCI Express) connectivity remains ahead and a new specification for a future generation of PCs has been announced, which is PCIE 7.0.
Videocardz reports Who has PCI-SIG, the organization that supervises De Standaard, Announced PCIE 7.0 And creates how fast it will be. (Spoiler alert: real, very fast).
But wait a minute – we are still not on PCIE 5.0 nowadays? Well, that is what an (advanced) PC will support, and I will return to exactly what is going on with the development path of the PCI Express Standard (and PCIE 6.0) temporarily.
PCIE 7.0 is currently a specification that has just been outlined, and it offers a data speed of 128GT/s, which is twice the speed of PCIE 6.0 (which itself doubled the transfer speed of PCIE 5.0).
With PCIE 7.0 you get support for a maximum of 16 PCIe riding strips (in a single lock) and a total of up to 512 GB/s bandwidth (in both directions). PCIe riding strips are bidirectional (which means that data can be sent in both directions) communication lines that connect PCIE components-at least the graphic card or SSDs (but also other diverse boards)–the motherboard.
Jointly facilitate PCIE jobs all these important components that work on your PC (Read more about this).
So, although much higher speeds for that communication are indeed a potentially big problem for the future, for the performance of GPUs and mainly discs, we look very much to the future here – which means way Along the line.
Analysis: Time scales and PCIE 8.0 appear on the horizon
Like I said, we are now on PCIE 5.0. PCIE 6.0 was announced at the beginning of 2022, more than three years ago, and is still under development, although it is now approaching in the finish line – we may even see the first hardware that supports it later (or early next).
So, as you can imagine, we look at the end of the decade Before PCIE 7.0 actually rises. In the run -up to that milestone, hardware makers will work with the standard, developing and testing prototypes and refining the latest hardware for three or four years. And in the first instance that hardware will be used on the basis of Quantum Computing, Data Inents and other demanding tasks – No consumers -PCs.
And in the meantime, PCI-SIG has confirmed that the work on putting together the PCIE 8.0 standard has already begun.
So, although this is all good and good, with these incoming standards that stand in line and always sound blisters quickly, what is the impact for consumers in the high term? To be honest not much. Even the best, super-expensive examples of the Best GPUs Currently there are currently not available on the borders of PCIE 5.0 – Nothing is needed faster, not even in the flashiest PC.
There are, however, niches in which older PCIE standards now hinder some new graphic maps.
An example of this is the RTX 5060 TI (or non-TI) with 8 GB video-RAM, which loses some performance when it is in a PCIE 4.0-mother board slot, because that slower standard is not enough and if your motherboard still uses PCIE 3.0, is that a world of performance pain. (For a detailed explanation why this GPU is problematic in this way, Check here – AMD‘s RX 9060 XT is also stopped by its 8 GB Vram).
But this is more than whatever from the most (and to be honest, more to do with questionable decision -making and configuration of these graphic cards in the first place). Yet, with ever faster PCIE standards that are rolling against us inexorably, in the future even aging consumer PCs will better deal with all the dubious decisions that GPU makers throw at them.
In addition, as recently discussed, it is important to promote the PCIE specification and to keep it on the advanced edge, important in terms of Maintaining standardization for the connection of PC components.
