What is PCI Express?
PCI Express (PCIe) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard, designed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X, and AGP bus standards. It is commonly used to connect graphics cards, network cards, storage interfaces (such as SSDs), and other high-performance peripherals to a computer's motherboard. PCIe offers significantly improved bandwidth and performance compared to its predecessors.
What other technologies are related to PCI Express?
PCI Express Competitor Technologies
CXL
Compute Express Link (CXL) is a competitor, as it provides a high-speed interconnect for CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators, similar to PCIe but with added features like memory coherency.
SATA
Serial ATA (SATA) is a competitor, primarily used for connecting storage devices, though PCIe-based storage solutions (NVMe) offer higher performance and are often preferred.
USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a competitor, particularly for connecting peripherals, though PCIe is generally used for higher bandwidth applications and internal components.
DisplayPort
DisplayPort is a competitor, primarily for connecting display devices, while PCIe is used for internal graphics card communication and other high-speed I/O.
Ethernet
Ethernet can be considered a competitor in some contexts where networking is involved, as PCIe can be used for network interface cards (NICs), but Ethernet provides network connectivity.
USB3
USB 3.0 is a competitor, primarily for connecting peripherals, though PCIe is generally used for higher bandwidth applications and internal components.
HDMI
HDMI is a competitor, primarily for connecting display devices, while PCIe is used for internal graphics card communication and other high-speed I/O.
SCSI
SCSI is a competitor, as it is another standard for connecting peripherals and storage devices. PCIe-based solutions have largely replaced SCSI in many applications due to performance advantages.

PCI Express Complementary Technologies
PIPE
PHY Interface for PCI Express (PIPE) is a complementary technology, as it defines the interface between the physical layer (PHY) and the link layer in PCIe implementations.
NVMe
NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a complementary technology, as it's a protocol designed to utilize the high bandwidth of PCIe for storage devices.
SerDes
SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) is a complementary technology, as it's used in the physical layer of PCIe to transmit data at high speeds.
