The PCI-SIG announced today the PCI Express 8.0 specification due out in 2028 will double the data of the PCI Express 7.0 specification, taking it to 256 GT/s.
PCI Express 8.0 is tracking to be published in 2028 and will top out at 256 GT/s for its raw bit rate and up to 1 TB/s bi-directionally in an x16 configuration. PCIe 8.0 is also evaluating new connector technology while still PCIe 8.0 will maintain backwards compatibility with prior PCI Express generations. New techniques continue to be worked on for reducing power consumption for PCI Express.
More early details around PCI Express 8.0 can be found via [1]the PCI-SIG press release .
