After PCI Express?

[TheGreatSatan]

AGP is long since gone and PCI Express seems as though it'll be around for a while. Anyone have any idea as to what's next. Would something external through an E-SATA port or USB 3.0 be faster?

PCI-E will evolve into something new like AGP did (into PCI-E) PCI-E will then go the way of AGP, and we will have graphics pushing 10GHz, with stupid amounts of memory and ridiculous data rates.

I can't wait!

I doubt ESATA or any other external device will home the next gen of powerful cards, it means more work for the whole system, and then a lovely cable to reduce data transfer by 0.10ms

I think it is mores law that says that Technology will double in speed and things like that every 18 months... Yet again I think? :banana: Which means thats good for us.:banana: But at one point there will be a time when it will stop because it cant get any smaller or faster ECT...:twisted:

Apparently Intel is planning to break Moore's Theory very soon.

[FrooP]

he does know things! get him! :p

[killergamer]

Sweet so it is Moore's law I was write. And what do you mean by that TheGreatSatan?

[TheGreatSatan]

Moore's theory is just that. Law's by scientific meaning are provable and can be repeated. Moore made a great observation and it has proven to be correct, but by no means is it a LAW. Times are a changing.

[killergamer]

well yea but thats how we learned about it in class but I can see it not being a so called "law" like newtons (3 Laws) or anything.
Well give some cool info about how Intel will break the so called "law" Just give us a sip to wet are lips to say.

They have PCIe 2.0 out now... it's supposedly twice as fast as x16.[Citation Needed]

well put

[Scotty]

Yea, well Intel are bring their own dedicated Graphics, something to challenge Nvidia and ATi this year, so maybe Intel will be before AMD to bring CPU and GPU together in one and then dedicated graphics will be a thing of the past, but CGPPUUs will jump in price =\

Back to Moore's Law

Moore’s Law
Creating a smaller, faster processor every two years has been a guiding mission at Intel every since founder Gordon Moore coined “Moore’s Law”, which states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles about every two years.

Moore's Law means more performance.
Processing power, measured in millions of instructions per second (MIPS), has steadily risen because of increased transistor counts.

But Moore's Law also means decreasing costs. As silicon-based components and platform ingredients gain in performance, they become exponentially cheaper to produce and therefore more plentiful, more powerful, and more seamlessly integrated into our daily lives.

As xRyokenx said, PCI-e 2.0 has been out for some time now boasting twice the bandwidth as standard PCI-e (32x compared to 16x). It's just that no manufacturer has taken upon themselves to make it a mainstream technology at the moment. They were expecting it to released around the end of second quarter 2008 but I think the public release may be well before that. Can you imagine it, a PCI-e 2.0 graphics cards with an awesome quad core Intel CPU matched with some DDR3 RAM...one word POWERHOUSE.
