What Are PCIe Cards?
PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) cards are expansion boards. Which fit into PCIe slots on a motherboard to enhance system capabilities. They offer high-speed connectivity for graphics, storage, networking, and specialised computing applications.
What Are PCIe Carrier Cards?
PCIe carrier cards act as interface adapters that allow mezzanine modules (such as XMC, PMC, AcroPack, and Industry Pack modules) to connect with a PCIe system. These carriers enable modular expansion, making them essential for industrial, Defence, and automation applications.
Difference Between PCI and PCIe Cards
Feature | PCI Cards | PCIe Cards |
---|---|---|
Speed | Slower (up to 533MB/s) | Faster (up to 32GB/s in PCIe Gen 5) |
Architecture | Parallel bus | Serial point-to-point connection |
Scalability | Limited lanes (32-bit or 64-bit) | Scalable lanes (x1, x4, x8, x16) |
Common Use | Legacy systems | Modern computing, AI, and industrial applications |
PCIe is the modern standard, offering greater speed, flexibility, and efficiency than the older PCI interface.
