PCIe 7.0 Draft Specs Target 512GB/s Speeds for 2025 Release.
The PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) has released the first draft of the PCIe 7.0 specification, aiming for a 2025 release. PCIe 7.0 will double the amount of bandwidth available to PCIe devices, bringing a single lane up to 16GB/second of full-duplex, bidirectional bandwidth. The PCI-SIG is also developing cabling specifications for PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 6.0, expected to be released in Q4 of this year, to maintain/extend channel reach with the latest standards.
