The news originates fromPCI-SIG, the industry group overseeing thePCI Express standard.
Essentially, it caters to any scenario requiring high-speed PCIe connections within a equipment.
This standard is also capable of handling the 64GT/s speeds introduced by PCIe 6.0.

Interestingly, PCI-SIG foresees significant adoption of CopprLink in AI/machine learning applications for data transfer between distributed systems.
However, copper cabling faces limitations at these extended distances and high bandwidths.
PCI-SIG is expediting the deployment of CopprLink specifications into real products.
