The computer industry is a weird business. You start with PCI video...and go AGP then back to PCI-E...why not just AGP-E??? Also..you would think after all these years a PPU would be introduced (Physics PU). The way technology goes is so behind, why do extra steps when its not needed....like PCI-E
 
PCI-E is not an extra step. Why create another port only good for one thing? when you can create a new standard. there with be no AGP-E.

PCI-E is a completly different thing from PCI, so they're not going back to something old.

True.

The OP may be wondering why they are using the PCI-e name.

I'd be interested to hear why they chose the name also.

The experts will come in and prove me wrong, but from what I understand, the folks that gave us the PCI standard made the PCI-E standard as well. It's a new standard addressing the same general purpose needs that PCI has done for past years; PCI-E is not specific to graphics hardware, so why should it have anything about "graphics" in its name?
