ASRock shows off PCIe 3.0 motherboards
 

ast week, ASRock brought its Fatal1ty Global tour 2011 to London to show off a number of new motherboards the company is bringing to market this month, most of which sport PCIe 3.0.

The new boards are the company's first to feature the new interface, and are easily identifiable thanks to their Gen 3 suffix.

According to ASRock, the new standard brings a number of benefits with it, such as a doubling of potential bandwidth per lane and a reduction in the coding overheads associated with passing data over the connection. However, it doesn't increase the amount of power available to a connected graphics card.
