There are 1, 4, 8 or 16 lanes in a single PCIe slot – denoted as x1, x4, x8, or x16. Each lane consists of two pairs of wires, one for transmitting and one for receiving. This identification of devices and connections uses the same protocol as PCI, so no changes were required when changing from PCI to PCIe in either software or operating systems.Ī PCIe connection consists of one or more (up to sixteen, at the moment) data-transmission lanes, connected serially. It identifies the links between each device, creates a traffic map, and negotiates the width of each link. When your computer first boots, PCIe is what determines the devices that are attached or plugged into the motherboard. PCI Express, PCIe, or Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, can be a somewhat complicated computer specification.
