The rapid advancement of technology and the increasing demand for high-performance computing have
fueled the development of faster and more efficient interconnects. Among these,
the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) standard has emerged as a dominant
interface in modern computing systems. This paper provides a detailed technical
analysis of the evolution from PCIe to the latest PCIe 6 standards, highlighting
the key enhancements, architectural changes, performance improvements, and potential
applications. Through an in-depth examination of the PCIe 6 specification, we explore
the implications and benefits of this new interface technology, paving the way for
future innovations in data transfer and interconnectivity.The analysis of PCIe to PCIe
6, a next-generation interface evolution, has revealed significant advancements
and improvements in terms of bandwidth, performance, latency, and scalability. PCIe
6 offers a doubling of the bandwidth compared
to its predecessor, PCIe 5, providing higher data transferrates and increased throughput.Overall, the analysis reveals that PCIe 6 represents a significant advancement in interconnect technology, offering improved performance,
enhanced features, and expanded capabilities.
