Why Upgrading PCI Makes the Most Sense Right Now
When choosing where to invest in future technologies, there’s often a tug-of-war between what’s groundbreaking and what’s actually implementable. In the case of three competing proposals—revamping the instruction set architecture (ISA), boosting PCI transfer speeds, or enhancing POSIX compliance—the smart money goes on the PCI upgrade. It’s not the flashiest choice, but it’s the one
