2023 - 06 - 28Understanding PCIe Gen 5.0: How will it affect Oculink cables?
PCIe Gen 5.0 is a new type of PCI Express interface standard, which adopts higher transmission rate and lower latency, which can provide faster data transmission speed and higher performance. For the Oculink cable, PCIe Gen 5.0 There are several effects: 1. Higher transmission rate The maximum transmission rate of PCIe Gen 5.0 reaches 32 GT/s, which is double the 16 GT/s of PCIe Gen 4.0 and much higher than the current 25 Gbps transmission rate of the Oculink cable, which means that when using PCIe Gen At 5.0, the Oculink cable can achieve a higher transmission rate and improve data transmission efficiency. 2. Lower latency PCIe Gen 5.0 uses optimized encoding and decoding algorithms to reduce transmission delays. This will make the transmission of data on the Oculink cable faster and more stable, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of data transmission. 3. Better compatibility PCIe Gen 5.0 is not compatible with previous versions, but it is backward compatible with previous versions such as PCIe Gen 4.0, PCIe Gen 3.0, etc. This means that the Oculink cable can be used with PCIe Gen 5.0 compatible devices and PCIe Gen 4.0 and earlier version devices, expanding the scope and application...
