Comment by tiernano 18 days ago even though it would be optical, it still is using PCIe protocols in the background... 3 comments tiernano Reply bobmcnamara 18 days ago PCIe is still using PCI protocol just over serdes embedding-shape 18 days ago How could you possibly know exactly what protocol they'd be using for the potential future optical PCIe connection?

Also both thunderbolt and DisplayPort reuse a lot of common elements from PCI-E
