PCI Express 3.0 Delayed Till 2011

Professor_Quail writes "PC Magazine reports that the PCI SIG has officially delayed the release of the PCI Express 3.0 specification until the second quarter of 2010. Originally, the PCI Express 3.0 specification called for the spec itself to be released this year, with products due about a year after the spec's release, or in 2010."

      They are just giving time to Amazon's EC2/S3 to get compliant.

    PCI Express 2.0 has more bandwidth than anyone will ever need

    It might have more bandwidth than hardly anyone will ever need before 2011... So start saving, 2011 you'll be paying blood for your new PCIe 3.0 graphics card!

    Holy cow, that's what I was looking for, thanks! The Magma ExpressBox7. $2800 for 7 x4 electical, x16 physical slots and a x4 host adapter with cable, rackmount. That's why I like Slashdot.

    This enables some interesting configurations of those 1TB PCIe attached SSDs.
