Given I think even the highest end of SSD is only just touching 15GB/s and RAM about 100GB/s I think?
I do wonder how long it will be before we actually see these transfer speeds

It's less of "wow we can to 1TB/s on 16 lanes" and more "wow we can do 64GB/s on 1 lane and have 16 devices in the same space we only could've done 1/2/4 before"

Not in the next 30 years. Moore's law has slowed down because of constraints with the materials that are used.
Cool
And nobody will vmever see it because now o it AI datacenters can have nice hardware
6090, nice
What happened to PCIe 6 and 7?
Surely we should focus on deploying these to consumers before PCIe 8.
It's a draft spec.
6 is probably finalised and being implemented.
7 is probably late stage finalisation.
So 8 can be started to be drafted.
How about you don't just double the bandwith for once?
What else do you want?
Better powersaving for once. Or no release if nothing new? Do they have a fixed timeline, a new version all 2 years or something?
Remember that PCIe is not just for consumers. High speed networking, more bandwidth per lane so fewer lanes needed for the same performance. That's all pretty nice for the enterprise market. 8x PCIe 5 ist the same as 1x PCIe 8. That makes things a lot easier.
