PCI Express turned 2.0 by fiat of the PCI Special Interest Group, the industry cooperative that governs the specification.
PCI Express 2.0, a faster second-generation version of the PCI technology that's used to plug everything from video cards to InfiniBand adapters into computers,
doubles that rate to 5Gbps up from 2.5gbps, and as with the existing PCIe, multiple lanes can be ganged together.
PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 probably will first arrive about a year from now, said Al Yanes, chairman of the PCI SIG.
