Specifications for two new interconnect technologies were released yesterday by the Peripheral Component Interconnect-Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), the group said in a press release (download PDF) ...

Moore’s Law might be slowing down CPU compute capacity increases in recent years, but the innovation has been coming at a steady drumbeat for the interconnects used inside servers and between nodes in ...

What would be the performance penalty, if any, by running a raid card in a PCI slot instead of a PCI-X slot. I ask because I'm contemplating putting the raid card in my main pc but it obviously ...

Although the ability to expand a home computer with more RAM, storage and other features has been around for as long as home computers exist, it wasn’t until the IBM PC that the concept of a fully ...

Do PCI 2.1/2.2 slots support both 5v and 3.3v signaling?<BR><BR>I was under the assumption that all conventional PCI devices were 5v only, but am now extremely confused at which specs support which ...

Board maker SuperMicro (San Jose, Calif.) has a new motherboard called the P4SCT+II that puts an Intel Pentium-4 processor on the PCI-X high-bandwidth architecture. SuperMicro's P4SCT+II's provides ...

Currently dominating the desktop PC motherboard and graphics markets, the PCI Express protocol is poised to supplant PCI and PCI-X interface as the dominant high-bandwidth interconnect for the server, ...

The Golden Gate family of serial peripheral interface bridge processors provides a means to connect PCI and PCI-X buses to the SPI3 and SPI4.2 high-speed serial network interfaces. The processors ...

PCI Express is a technology that consistently makes headlines, with new specifications boasting ever-improving performance regularly appearing in the news. It may come as a surprise, then, to learn ...

If the datacenter had been taken over by InfiniBand, as was originally intended back in the late 1990s, then PCI-Express peripheral buses and certainly PCI-Express switching – and maybe even Ethernet ...

Parallel buses are giving way to high-speed serial/pseudoserial buses, especially in I/Os and system interconnects. Buses like PCI and PCI-X, the universal PC I/O and embedded system buses, will ...
