PCI-Express 3.0 standard announced

[devilsburger]

---

PCI-Express 2.0 has been here for us for what seems like an eternity in the tech world - so much moving past us in terms of cores on a CPU, the amount of system ram and at the moment the apocolyptic GPU wars between the great AMD and NVIDIA.



PCI-Express 3.0 is the next gen champion to be on your motherboard. It is rumored to be clashing it's hammer with the Sandy Bridge E 'Patsburg' on LGA2011 which is slated for 2011. Depending on whether the LGA2011 becomes the consumer-targetted replacement. The closest definite for PCI-Express 3.0 is for early 2012 when Ivy Bridge hits.

I posted this in another thread months ago that I don't think this standard will be relevant until the next 3 to 4 years pa unless they make a revolutionary leap in GPU design. PCIE 2.0 still hasn't been saturated yet even with the Ares 5970. It's nice to have this standard already developed but to all those buying mobos, I urge that you don't let this standard be your deciding factor.... YET. Right now, this standard is what the industry calls an 'enabler'. What this means is that this standard will be the target engineers will want to attain performance wise because right now they are still far from reaching the throughput of this new pcie 3.0 standard. But with the pace of technology, who know right??
