On Friday, I received an invitation to the event, where I was told that PCI Express 3.0 was to be discussed.

Last year, 2009, was supposed to be the year PCI Express 3.0 was supposed to have been announced. But the standard was delayed for compatibility reasons. At the time, PCI-SIG executives said that PCI Express 3.0 products would most likely ship in 2011, with graphics (and supporting motherboards) as the first products to take advantage of the new spec.
