PCIe 3.0 specification in November to complete the basic
Latest news shows, PCI Express 3.0 standard basic specification is finalized in November of this year, so as to come out next year, opening the door related products. In mid-August this year, PCI-SIG organization released version 0.9 of the PCI-E 3.0 specification, currently being reviewed for 60 days, after the adoption of the final version 1.0 will be released. PCI-SIG, but that may not be completed until late next year, PCI-E 3.0 product specifications, the first batch of products may be as Wi-Fi 802.11b, as only a draft version, but the PCI-SIG will be in the middle of next year provide design verification tools, the beginning and the industry vendors.
PCI-SIG organization, said Al Yanes, president, in general, PCI-E announced a new specification to the market a year or so, but many companies have an urgent need for a higher bus bandwidth, may be released early next year to support PCI -E 3.0 standard. Mellanox Technologies to launch before the next year in June based on PCI-E 3.0 interface, the new 40Gbps Infiniband adapter. Now PCI-E 2.0 can only provide the 5GT / s maximum data rate, making high-speed card is limited to Mellanox 26Gb / s, can not run at full speed, data rate 8GT / s for PCI-E 3.0 just to release its full potential.
Sources also said, Intel will be Sandy Bridge processor family to support the server versions of Uehara Health and PCI-E 3.0, but time may be issued to the end of 2011. Early next year, Intel will launch the first for desktop and mobile areas of Sandy Bridge, supports PCI-E 2.0, providing 16 channels, support for single x16 or dual x8.
Whether four 10G Ethernet, 40G Ethernet, next generation, or high-end graphics cards, solid state hard drives, PCI-E 3.0 will have its uses, but because 8GT / s high-speed transmission is very complex, have been repeatedly delayed, and in accordance with the original road map published late last year on a.
