    The PCIe 6 spec was finalized in early 2022 but - despite most every article saying to expect PCIe 6 hardware w/in 12-18 months of the finalization (which is right about now) I haven’t seen anything out there for sale yet. Perhaps it’s just going to be one of those PCIe generations that won’t gain much traction.
