PCI-SIG® today announced the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 8.0 specification will double the data of the PCIe 7.0 specification to 256.0 GT/s and is planned for release to members by 2028.
PCI-SIG technical workgroups will be developing the PCIe 8.0 specification with the following feature objectives:
- Delivering 256.0 GT/s raw bit rate and up to 1 TB/s bi-directionally via x16 configuration
- Reviewing new connector technology
- Confirming latency and FEC targets will be achieved
- Ensuring reliability targets are met
- Maintaining backwards compatibility with previous generations of PCIe technology
- Developing protocol enhancements to improve bandwidth
- Continuing to emphasize techniques to reduce power

Maybe one 1TB of bandwidth, bidirectional, will help with all those stutters from asset streaming in UE5.
