Pci Express Spec -

The PCIe specification defines several physical sizes based on the number of "lanes" available for data transmission. A lane consists of two pairs of wires: one for sending and one for receiving.

The evolution from NRZ to PAM4 signaling marks a significant shift. pci express spec

Recent PCI-SIG work on and Chiplet-to-Chiplet extends the specification beyond PCB traces. The PCIe 7.0 specification anticipates lossy on-package channels with up to 50 dB attenuation, requiring advanced equalization (CTLE, DFE) and possibly die-to-die PHY adapters. The layered nature of PCIe allows reuse of the transaction and data link layers with different physical media—a key advantage over monolithic protocols.
