The next iteration of PCI Express will double the bandwidth per lane, but that shouldn't surprise anyone. During Intel Developers Forum, we sat down with Richard Solomon, Vice President of PCI-SIG, and found the hidden gem in the next specification; it provides at least a 4x increase in power delivery at the slot, which might eliminate the need for auxiliary power cables with some GPUs.

The PCI-SIG consists of more than 730 paying members that provide input and a board of directors that help steer the process. The standards body is just "days away" from releasing version 0.7 of the PCIe Express 4.0 specification to members, according to Solomon. The final specification should come by the end of 2016, but the group will have an additional 0.9 step in between before completion at 1.0. Some companies, such as Mellanox, are shipping leading-edge PCIe products with the 0.7 spec, but will update when version 1.0 arrives. The group is already working on PCIe 5.0

If this means we don't have to bloody plug power more wires to the GPU I think this is a good change.

CSB lol

In before like the RX 480 saga that time, people misinterpret datasheet and say the slit can 150W or 300W or whatever.

Motherboard doesn't even have enough 12V connector pins to feed the slot.

Just put another one la. My Mpower already got 2 liao. Once mobo put 2, PSU will alter their design also.

Like this gpu maker will make more juice hunger card. End up you still have to plug in one cable. :s13:

Maybe now plug in 2... next time plug in 1... still have to plug in. :s13:

Hm.. how are they going to design the MB?
300W at 12V is 25Amp.. It's big current...
