PCI, standing for Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a local parallel bus standard that has not been phased out. Instead, it has evolved into newer standards such as PCI-X and PCI Express (PCIe) to meet the increasing demands for higher data transfer rates and better scalability. PCIe, in particular, is widely used in various computing systems from personal computers to servers and data centers.
