PCI Express

PCI Express (PCIe) is a high-speed communication standard used inside computers to connect components like graphics cards, storage drives, and network cards to the motherboard. It uses rapid data lanes that allow devices to transfer large amounts of information quickly and efficiently. PCIe replaces earlier standards with faster speeds and better scalability, enabling computers to perform demanding tasks such as gaming, video editing, and data processing smoothly. It’s like a dedicated, high-speed highway that ensures data moves swiftly between the computer’s central parts.
