Said to be the industry's only 48-lane nine-port PCIe switching device, the PEX 8548 features latency under 110 ns. The 736-ball chip uses approximately 7 W, enables port configurations from x1 to x16 ...

PC components have a finite number of channels that connect with the CPU. These channels are physically built into the CPU, the motherboard, and the components themselves -- and they're called PCIe ...

Imagine, for a moment, that you had a brand-new M.2 SSD rated for sequential transfers of over 15 GB/second. Obviously, it's the latest design, using four lanes of PCI Express 5.0 to achieve this ...

Along with DDR-II memory support, PCI Express is the largest visible architectural difference compared to previous Intel desktop platforms. Supplanting both AGP for graphics interconnects and regular ...

In a nutshell: The PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), the organization responsible for defining PCI Express standards, is nearing completion of the PCIe 7.0 specification. If everything proceeds as ...

PCIe adapters are the ultimate solution for adding anything from extra M.2 SSDs and SATA drives to 10-Gigabit networking adapters and Wi-Fi cards. While they are the fastest form of expansion on your ...

The official specifications for the next-next-generation PCI Express 7.0 standard have been released, giving us a look at what the future of consumer storage devices and add-in cards could be like. As ...

The PEX 8524 PCI Express switch offers 24 lanes that can be allocated to six highly configurable ports. In server applications, the chip provides fanout of a wide port from the North Bridge chipset in ...
