That would be very nice.  But wouldn't they need to add a larger portion of the interface to power, meaning an overall longer slot?

I don't think so, they might want to make it backwards compatible, like what they did with PCI gen 3 and gen 2

There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

how about making a HSA link so gpus can address cpu memory and visa versa (the same amd apu thing but for the big dedicated gpus) 

(1) high frame rate (2) ultra graphics settings (3) cheap...>> choose only two<<...

 

if it's never been done then i'm probably tryna do it. (((((((Bass so low it HERTZ)))))))

If it could carry more power, you'd have to plug more cables into the motherboard, and the motherboard would get hotter at a result.

Thats why I think that is highly improbable.  But it still would be nice if they manage to do it.  

 

Maybe make the slot longer and add the extra power pins at the back of the slot, so you can have support for 3.0 and lower cards?

I dont think a longer slot would hurt tbh

If I had one wish, I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss

It would never work on the smaller form factors, mITX boards would never be able to have PCIE4. Not sure if mATX would be able to have it either(no clue about the measurements on those boards).

The PCI express 2.0 gives the card 75 watts of power, PLUS the 6  or 8 pin power connectors, I would sure love a high end card that doesn't need extra power, either that or make a graphics card with right angle power connectors :P

Then they wouldn't have it lol

idc about smaller boards tbh

I always get decent sized cases that make normal atx mobos somewhat small.

But then again there's a lot of people that would want a smaller case. When PCIE4 takes over as the standard and PCIE3 isn't used anymore I I would find it hard to see manufacturers still using PCIE3 on smaller boards because PCIE4 is too big. I think it would need to keep the same dimensions, at least to some degree, to really make it a standard.

People like many here that are enthusiasts does not represent the broader market of customers.

I am just saying I don't care about the smaller boards

I really dont care what happens to them or pcie4

From wikipedia 

"

PCI Express 4.0[edit]

On November 29, 2011, PCI-SIG announced PCI Express 4.0 featuring 16 GT/s, still based on copper technology. Additionally, active and idle power optimizations are to be investigated. Final specifications are expected to be released in 2014–15.

Tbh what else were you expecting.

I wouldn't be surprised if before long there is a new standard to accommodate the rising popularity of small form factor machines. If we see a continuing trend towards small more energy efficient gpus (less generation performance increase) it will be a while before we saturate pcie3.
