direction (500 MB/s total).
The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is
4 GB/s in each direction simultaneously, for an aggregate of 8 GB/s when
operating in x16 mode.
Supports the PCI Express 2.0 frequency of 2.5 GHz resulting in 5.0 Gb/s each
direction (1000 MB/s total).
The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface
is 8 GB/s in each direction simultaneously, for an aggregate of 16 GB/s when
operating in x16 mode.
