pc2

PC2, also known as PCI Express 2.0, is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard that connects the CPU to the motherboard and peripheral devices. It was introduced by Intel in 2007 as a successor to PCI Express 1.0, offering improved performance and efficiency. PC2 operates at a maximum speed of 5 GT/s (gigatransfers per second), which translates to a theoretical maximum bandwidth of 8 GB/s per lane. It supports up to 32 lanes, allowing for a maximum bandwidth of 256 GB/s. PC2 is backward compatible with PCI Express 1.0 and 3.0 devices, making it a versatile choice for various computing needs. It is commonly used in desktop computers, servers, and workstations to connect high-speed peripherals such as graphics cards, storage devices, and network interface cards. PC2's improved performance and efficiency make it a popular choice for systems that require high-speed data transfer and processing capabilities.
