PCIXstandardeja

PCIXstandardeja refers to the standards and specifications associated with PCI-X, a high-speed parallel computer bus standard. PCI-X was developed as an enhancement to the original PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus, aiming to provide significantly increased bandwidth and improved performance for server and workstation environments. The standards defined by PCI-X focused on aspects like clock speeds, bus widths, and protocol improvements to reduce latency and support more demanding applications. Key features included higher clock frequencies, often reaching 133 MHz and beyond, and support for 64-bit data transfers. These advancements made PCI-X suitable for bandwidth-intensive peripherals such as high-performance network cards, RAID controllers, and SCSI adapters. The standard was managed by the PCI-SIG (Special Interest Group), which oversaw its development and evolution. While PCI-X offered substantial performance gains over its predecessor, its widespread adoption was eventually challenged by the rise of serial interconnects like PCI Express (PCIe). PCIe offered advantages in terms of scalability, lower pin count, and improved power efficiency, ultimately leading to PCI-X becoming a less prevalent technology in modern computing.
