11.1.2022 18:02:13 CET | Business Wire | Press release
PCI-SIG® , the organization responsible for the widely adopted PCI Express® (PCIe® ) standard, today announced the official release of the PCIe 6.0 specification, reaching 64 GT/s.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220111005011/en/
PCIe 6.0 Specification Features
- 64 GT/s raw data rate and up to 256 GB/s via x16 configuration
- Pulse Amplitude Modulation with 4 levels (PAM4) signaling and leverages existing PAM4 already available in the industry
- Lightweight Forward Error Correct (FEC) and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) mitigate the bit error rate increase associated with PAM4 signaling
- Flit (flow control unit) based encoding supports PAM4 modulation and enables more than double the bandwidth gain
- Updated Packet layout used in Flit Mode to provide additional functionality and simplify processing
- Maintains backwards compatibility with all previous generations of PCIe technology
PCI Express technology has served as the de facto interconnect of choice for nearly two decades. The PCIe 6.0 specification doubles the bandwidth and power efficiency of the PCIe 5.0 specification (32 GT/s), while providing low latency and reduced bandwidth overhead.
“PCI-SIG is pleased to announce the release of the PCIe 6.0 specification less than three years after the PCIe 5.0 specification,” said Al Yanes, PCI-SIG Chairperson and President. “PCIe 6.0 technology is the cost-effective and scalable interconnect solution that will continue to impact data-intensive markets like data center, artificial intelligence/machine learning, HPC, automotive, IoT, and military/aerospace, while also protecting industry investments by maintaining backwards compatibility with all previous generations of PCIe technology.”
“With the PCI Express SSD market forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 40% to over 800 exabytes by 2025, PCI-SIG continues to meet the future needs of storage applications,” said Greg Wong, Founder and Principal Analyst, Forward Insights. “With the storage industry transitioning to PCIe 4.0 technology and on the cusp of introducing PCIe 5.0 technology, companies will begin adopting PCIe 6.0 technology in their roadmaps to future-proof their products and take advantage of the high bandwidth and low latency that PCI Express technology offers.”
“There is a growing demand for ever-increasing performance in many segments in the data center such as high-performance computing and AI,” said Ashish Nadkarni, Group Vice President, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group, IDC. “Within three to five years the application landscape will look very different and companies will likely begin updating their roadmaps accordingly. The advancement of an established standard like PCIe 6.0 architecture will serve the industry well in establishing composable infrastructure for performance intensive computing use cases.”

Americhem Expands Aircraft Interior Portfolio with PFAS-Free Thermoplastic Platform Meeting 55/55 OSU, Low Smoke, and Low Toxicity Requirements4.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Americhem is expanding its aircraft interior materials portfolio with ColorFast® SFT5500, a PFAS-free high-performance thermoplastic engineered to meet FAA 14 CFR 25.853, Appendix F, Part IV, 55/55 OSU heat release requirements while delivering low smoke and low toxicity characteristics for aircraft interior applications. PFAS-free thermoplastic systems capable of achieving 55/55 OSU performance while maintaining low smoke and low toxicity characteristics remain limited in the aerospace market. ColorFast® SFT5500 addresses this need with demonstrated 55/55 OSU heat release performance, low smoke emission characteristics, and low flaming-mode toxicity performance in a high-performance thermoplastic platform designed specifically for injection-molded interior components. Aircraft interior thermoplastics must meet stringent fire standards while maintaining durability, thermal stability, and process consistency. As legacy fluorinated material systems face increasing regulatory scrutiny, ma
NETSCOUT Reveals Qualitative Shifts in DDoS Attack Sophistication, Infrastructure Capacity, and Threat Actor Capabilities4.3.2026 12:05:00 CET | Press release
AI Adoption, coordinated botnets, and persistent hacktivists groups drove millions of attacks NETSCOUT® SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), today released its second half of the year 2025 Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Threat Intelligence Report, revealing sophisticated attacker collaboration, resilient botnets, and compromised IoT infrastructure that drove more than eight million DDoS attacks worldwide – some as large as 30 terabits per second (Tbps) – marking a new era of hyper-scale, coordinated threat activity that continues to outpace global takedown efforts.
