00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:14.960
so do you guys remember the last time there was a version 4.0 of something its

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:20.000
creators envisioned running on nearly every desktop pc

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:24.800
yeah me too but don't worry the subject of today's video isn't an ill-tempered

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:31.920
web browser we'll be looking instead at pci express 4.0 the newest revision of

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:37.600
the computer bus for your graphics cards and your high performance ssds

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:43.680
and like the kind of bus that has tires PCIe 4.0 has been rather slow to roll

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:48.399
its way into our lives the specification for version 3.0 came out all the way

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:55.600
back in 2010 so why exactly has it taken so long

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:59.120
well remember that PCIe 3.0 had a

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.680
maximum speed of almost 16 gigabytes per

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:08.400
second in each direction for its full-sized 16x link that is already

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:10.880
blisteringly fast and the pci special

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:16.560
interest group which develops the spec wanted to keep with how previous

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:19.680
revisions doubled the speed every time

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.640
so basically it took them a while to

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.880
figure out how to force 32 gigabytes of data per second each way through the

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:32.960
same interconnect and figure it out they did but what are

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:38.240
the practical benefits i mean 3.0 has been doing just fine who needs

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:44.000
that much speed unless they're doing literally nothing but moving 4k video

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:47.439
around even modern graphics cards don't

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:50.960
fully saturate a last gen pci express

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:53.119
3.0 x16 link so is this more speed just

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:58.320
for the sake of it well no actually

00:01:54.479 --> 00:02:00.719
because PCIe 4.0 can support so much

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:06.560
data it may very well end up being helpful in the sense that it will free

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:08.800
up pci express lanes allowing for more

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:13.520
devices to connect without any of them being bottlenecked this is a major

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:21.200
concern because even the latest high-end consumer cpus support just 20 or 24 PCIe

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:26.239
lanes directly off the chip most of which gets immediately consumed

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:32.640
by a graphics card leaving multiple devices competing for bandwidth on a

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:36.160
PCIe communications hub of some sort

00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:40.160
so with PCIe 4.0 we could have things

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:43.440
like high speed NVMe ssds and 10 gigabit

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:46.640
Ethernet connections using just one lane

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:49.120
each with nearly two gigabytes in each

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:54.959
direction available to them so now then i can use the other lanes i freed up for

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:58.720
more drives more high-speed usb i don't know but

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:03.360
holographic interface card look look i can't predict the future

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.519
and don't forget about notebooks

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.760
Thunderbolt you know that super cool interface that can be used with external

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:15.920
graphics cards also connects to the pci express bus

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:22.000
as it stands today the ability to run a desktop graphics card outside of the

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:24.480
chassis is pretty darn cool but

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.680
we've observed some definite performance reductions when we've tested these kinds

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:34.720
of setups so then with PCIe 4.0 higher speeds and

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:39.920
lower latency the market for external GPU enclosures may get a little more

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:44.159
vibrant if they can deliver the same or similar performance to what you'd get

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:49.280
with the GPU actually sitting inside your computer and all of this ignores

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:55.280
the data center where cloud applications for high-speed optane caches of your

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:59.920
feed will help facebook load a delicious second faster and where scientists are

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:06.000
using super computers with dozens or even hundreds of gpus for climate

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:08.159
research and ai development all of those

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.920
things are going to need faster PCIe connectivity too

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:16.479
now of course only time will tell how relevant this new pci express revision

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:22.079
will be but if the past is anything to go by we could end up seeing the first

00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:24.800
motherboards featuring PCIe 4.0 in mid

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:28.560
to late 2018 so you'll be able to see for yourself

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:32.479
with that said while the faster speeds may not be enough to get you to rush out

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:36.479
and buy a new motherboard as soon as they drop it will be interesting to see

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:41.040
how component manufacturers take advantage of the higher bandwidth if

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:46.080
nothing else maybe we'll see an RGB expansion card with ai on board that

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:50.160
proactively adapts the lighting to your mood

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:53.680
speaking of being proactive are you finding yourself at the end of

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.120
the day whether you're a small business owner or a freelancer struggling with

00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:01.759
