Imagine, for a moment, that you had a brand-new M.2 SSD rated for sequential transfers of over 15 GB/second. Obviously, it's the latest design, using four lanes of PCI Express 5.0 to achieve this immense throughput. Alternatively, it could be an x1 design—using PCIe 7.0. That's right kids: PCIe 7.0 offers per-pin...

Remember the Pebble? Quite possibly the first smartwatch when it launched in 2013, it eventually fizzled out three years later (not thanks to FitBit), but it left an indelible ripple in the tech world that’s still felt in the wearables we have today.

Building out the datacenters—or as NVIDIA calls them, "AI factories"—required for training and operating state-of-the-art AI models is extremely expensive.
