Insights from the Gamers Nexus episode “PCIe Gen 6 is... Abnormal | The Future is PCIe (Part 3), ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs”, published July 15, 2026.
Wendell argues that PCIe has evolved from a simple expansion bus into the primary fabric for modern computing, subsuming networking and storage. As enterprise hardware shifts toward on-chip photonics and high-speed optical interconnects, these technologies are poised to eventually trickle down to consumer devices, offering lower latency and higher efficiency.
