Why the need for PCI Express? As processor clock speeds increase, parallel buses such as PCI become harder to implement. Signal skew and fan-out restrictions restrict the bandwidth achievable on a ...

One of the most comprehensive refreshes of Intel architecture will start rolling out this summer. The PCI Express bus will replace current I/O interfaces, such as PCI for device interconnects and ...

No matter what, system architects are always going to have to contend with one – and possibly more – bottlenecks when they design the machines that store and crunch the data that makes the world go ...

The XIO2001 is a single-function PCI Express to PCI translation bridge that is fully compliant to the PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge Specification, Revision 1.0. For downstream traffic, the bridge ...

For more than a decade the PCI bus has been the backbone of personal computers. Other systems, such as telephony and networking, adopted the technology for its cost and performance advantages. But now ...

Riders on city buses must follow certain rules: move to the rear, signal the driver to stop, and give up your seat to someone who needs it more than you do. Likewise, devices that “ride” the PCI ...

PCI Express (PCIe) is the fastest interface available to facilitate PC/FPGA communications. FPGA vendors have offered PCIe cores to harness this power for some time, but the cores are too rudimentary ...

Multiplying things by two and putting them on a roadmap is easy, even if it does take a lot of courage to do that. Actually making that 2X performance boost happen is, in a lot of cases in the ...

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. As expected, the PCI-SIG has announced the PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 specification. The 3.0 ...

Internal SSDs supporting the PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 bus standard are, as a class, the speediest consumer solid-state drives out there. (The best of them promise peak throughput speeds double those of ...
