Question What does PCIe slot bandwidth mean?

[The_4_]

I am a student that just got into my IT system management course, and I am trying to figure out:

1. What PCIe slot bandwidth stands for?
2. What PCIe slot gigatransfer stands for?
3. What PCIe slot frequency stands for?

I just want to understand the concept better

Refreshingly, it means exactly what it says on the tin

Do your own homework. You can Google all 3 of those questions and get all the information you need.

PCI Express - Wikipedia

Take out "PCIe slot" in those questions, then look them up. This will cover any sort of interface you could ever encounter.

Like this is exactly the kind of answers people give when they expect everyone else to have the same knowledge as them

Your first question.

What Does PCIe x16 Mean? [Beginner's Guide]

The PCIe x16 specification can be found on many a product sheet, but it doesn't always mean the same thing. Is it Bandwidth or physical slot length? Here's how to figure this one out.

You sure you need to be in IT? Your asking very basic questions and google clearly has the answers.

No. If someone tells you the words mean exactly what the definitions of the words mean, and yet it still does not occur to you to consult a dictionary or Google, then you have to seriously consider if your logic or English is good enough for IT, which is all about problem-solving.

Or, you know Wikipedia PCI Express.

You're*. I'm glad you pointed him to Google.

@The_4_ hope you found your answers. Hotaru gave the best solution, saving walls of text here.

I sometimes question why people are even on forums when they tell them to use google, don't even put your 2 cents in if thats all your going to say, sure its been answered a million times, and yeah google will tell you, so what.

The other side of the issue here is that people should be prepared to do the barest modicum of investigation and research on their base question.

Especially when this relates to a classroom environment.

I personally will not do someones homework for them.
But, if you do just a little research, and then hit a wall - " I looked this up and don't understand this part..."
Then I would absolutely assist.But do that basic bit of research on you own first.

People today have the worlds greatest information resource, literally at their fingertips. (and I REALLY don't mean the idiot AI things)
But will fail to even apply brain and fingers to the keyboard.

Instead, they post a half formed question that is on the level of "What is 2 + 3?"

Instead of just giving them the answer, often, I will pose a question back to them.
"In your own words, what do YOU think it means?"

tl-dr......do a tiny bit of research first. Tell me what you don't understand, in all the stuff you've found.

Hard not to agree... when I need answers I go to Google... and sometimes Wikipedia.

Nothing wrong with asking questions... but in this day and age answers to pretty much everything are easy to find online.
