What is the PCIe Gen5 X4 bandwidth?

How much bandwidth does PCIe 5 technology deliver?
- At 32Gbit/s per lane, PCIe 5.0 technology delivers a whopping 64GBytes/s over 16 lanes in each direction for a total link bandwidth of ~128GB/s. This is more than enough to meet the needs of 400G Ethernet. Figure 2. PCIe 5.0 Technology was defined with 400G support as a key requirement of the specification.
What is PCI Express Gen5 (PCIe)?
- PCIe 5.0 (or Gen5) represents the technology that is needed by the computer, data center, and ultimately the 5G wireless industry to enable the next generation of mobile and desktop applications. So, what is PCI Express 5.0 and how does it compare to PCI 4.0?
How much bandwidth can a 32-lane PCIe connector support?
- Consequently, a 32-lane PCIe connector (×32) can support an aggregate throughput of up to 16 GB/s. PCIe 2.0 motherboard slots are fully backward compatible with PCIe v1.x cards. PCIe 2.0 cards are also generally backward compatible with PCIe 1.x motherboards, using the available bandwidth of PCI Express 1.1.
