Based on what I read on sites like AnandTech, PCIe 6.0 could come to normal humans because it can use similar trace lengths, but PCIe 7+ is less likely.
It is a matter of cost, with PCI_E 5.0 AMD had the E and non E moniker for motherboard that support PCIE 5.0 and those who don't (talking about the GPU lanes, SSD lanes are up to manufacture to decide). Usually they are starting at quite higher price. If PCI_E 6.0 will be more expensive to implement we could wait few years until price reduces. Data centers can pay premium price for faster connectivity not something that is easy to sell for consumer if prices are too high. and the rapid push from PCI_SIG of several last year was due AI, and it's enormous data bandwidth requirement when you want to build a system that scales out, they were the main target for the last developments - not the consumers.

I have an exclusive leak about the planned max data rate of PCIe 8.0.ballsystemlord - Thursday, August 15, 2024 - link
Wow! What ever could the data rate be? (Ha ha.)ballsystemlord - Thursday, August 15, 2024 - link
So, when can we expect PCIe 6.0 HW to hit "normal human" markets?nandnandnand - Thursday, August 15, 2024 - link

That is a good question.With PCIe 4.0 release 2017 there was a 2 year delay until we saw the chipsets in 2019 with AM4.
With PCie 5.0 release 2019 first cpu's with support 2022.
So now will we see a 2-3 year delay or even longer with PCIe 6.0?

Question is if signalling will draw son equal the processor in power draw.
