PCIe 7.0 is coming, but not soon, and not for you
The PCIe 7.0 specification has now been released, while many of us are still waiting for PCIe 6.0 to materialize in consumer products. The PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) announced on Wednesday that PCIe 7.0 is now available to members of its organization, delivering a theoretical maximum bandwidth speed of 512GB per second in both directions, across a x16 connection. 'PCIe technology has served as the high-bandwidth, low-latency IO interconnect of choice for over two decades and we are pleased to announce the release of the PCIe 7.0 specification, which continues our long-standing tradition of doubling the IO bandwidth every three years,' PCI-SIG President Al Yanes said in the announcement. 'As artificial intelligence applications continue to scale rapidly, the next generation of PCIe technology meets the bandwidth demands of data-intensive markets deploying AI, including hyperscale data centers, high performance computing (HPC), automotive, and military/aerospace.' You may have noticed that consumer computing devices weren't included in that statement — the specification is targeting data-driven applications like cloud and quantum computing datacenters for now, and will take some time to even appear in those markets. PCI-SIG says that PCIe 7.0 will be backward compatible with previous PCI Express versions, but there's no mention of plans to bring it to everyday desktop SSDs or GPUs any time soon. That shouldn't be surprising, given the PCIe 5.0 spec that launched in 2019 only started trickling into consumer hardware two years ago, and is still fairly uncommon. Image: PCI-SIG

Cheers for Ohio beer. Ohio's 442 craft breweries brought in $1.29 billion of economic activity in 2024, according to the Ohio Craft Brewers Association economic and fiscal impact of Ohio's craft brewing industry. This is an increase from 2022 when Ohio breweries contributed $1.27 billion to the economy. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX Ohio's craft beer industry had 9,753 direct jobs and an additional 2,502 indirect jobs sustaining 8,095 Ohio households, according to the biennial report. Beer was flowing in Ohio with 1.15 million barrels brewed. Ohio craft breweries generated an estimated $128.6 million of state and local taxes and $99.1 million of federal taxes in 2024, according to the report. The number of craft breweries in Ohio continued to go up. There were 45 in 2011, 135 in 2015, 300 in 2018, 357 in 2020, 420 in 2022, and 442 in 2024, according to the report. 53 breweries are in planning around the state. The Northwest region had 41 craft breweries that brewed 17,000 barrels of beer for an economic impact of $78 million. The North Central region had 37 craft breweries that brewed 10,000 barrels of beer for an economic impact of $36.1 million. The Greater Cleveland region had 59 craft breweries that brewed 209,000 barrels of beer for an economic impact of $231 million. The Northeast region had 49 craft breweries that brewed 26,000 barrels of beer for an economic impact of $71.2 million. The State Line region had 46 craft breweries that brewed 9,000 barrels of beer for an economic impact of $34.8 million. The West Central region had 39 craft breweries that brewed 16,000 barrels of beer for an economic impact of $60.7 million. The Greater Columbus region had 56 craft breweries that brewed 159,000 barrels of beer for an economic impact of $184 million. The Greater Cincinnati region had 50 craft breweries that brewed 669,000 barrels of beer for an economic impact of $495.6 million. The Southwest region had 33 craft breweries that brewed 16,000 barrels of beer for an economic impact of $45.7 million. The Southeast region had 32 craft breweries that brewed 19,000 barrels of beer for an economic impact of $52.4 million. Ohio breweries will likely see the effects of new tariffs on aluminum, steel and malted barley. A tariff is a tax on imported goods and President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on aluminum and steel imported into the United States, and a 25% tariff on Canadian barley. There were 9,796 craft breweries across the country in 2024. Last year was the first year since 2005 that there were more brewery closing than openings nationwide — with 430 new breweries and 529 breweries closed, according to the Brewers Association.

Ohio food banks could lose millions in funding under proposed state budget
File photo of an Ohio food pantry by WEWS. Food banks across Ohio are dealing with a major increase in need, but each Republican budget passed in the state cuts their funding from 2025 to 2026 by millions. The need for help putting food on the table is growing in Ohio. Last year's visits to the state's network of food pantries were nearly 16 million, including repeat customers, according to the Ohio Association of Foodbanks. 'The fact is that, unfortunately, the need for food is at an all-time high,' Kristin Warzocha with Greater Cleveland Food Bank said. Now, Warzocha is bracing for a tough year. 'We are expecting changes that could result in up to 8 million less pounds of food next year,' she said. 'That's a 15% decrease — that's without additional public or private support.' Ohio food banks are currently receiving $32.5 million from the state. But typically, they've been receiving about $24.5 million since 2019. In the last budget, they were given a one-time supplement of $7.5 million due to extra COVID-19 dollars and increased need. Now they would be going back to $24.5 million — despite the surge in need and inflation. The food banks asked for about $30 million this year — a $5 million bump due to inflation and need. They didn't receive it in the governor's, Ohio House's or Ohio Senate's budgets. This means they are set to face a 23% reduction in funding from the state from Fiscal Year 2025 to 2026. The Children's Hunger Alliance (CHA) is also facing a greater need, the organization states. Their weekend meals program has tripled in size and has an extensive waitlist, CHA said. They were asking for several million more to keep up with demand. The governor gave them their current funding, but both the Ohio House and Ohio Senate passed bills that cut the CHA budget from $7.5 million to $5 million. Hunger prevention advocates are hoping that lawmakers change their minds before the end of June. Legislative leaders are going into conference committee, closed-door meetings, to negotiate and draft a final budget — but food isn't on their minds. Asked about what 'must-haves' in the budget, Ohio Senate President Rob McColley said he thinks there are a lot of good things in the Senate version. 'We obviously don't want to reveal too much, but we're firm believers in some of the big items. The flat tax is something that we feel pretty strongly about,' McColley responded. McColley and his chamber have passed a 2.75% flat income tax, meaning the highest earners in the state — those making more than $100,000 a year — will no longer have to pay 3.5% in income tax. This would make them equal to the lower tax bracket. State data shows that the flat tax could cause a more than $1 billion loss to the general revenue fund. 'The dollars that we're foregoing in the flat tax are already incorporated into our overall spending,' Senate Finance Chair Cirino, R-Kirtland, said. Programs have been cut to make up for it, he said. This includes money for food assistance, schools, Medicaid, libraries, lead abatement, addiction services, and child care, which have all decreased from the current status or from the governor's budget. Asked whether the Ohio House or Ohio Senate version of the budget was better, state Rep. Bride Rose Sweeney, the top Democrat on the Finance Committee, said both are bad, and that she favored the governor's budget. But when answering the question, she said the Senate's is more detrimental. 'A lot of the House was flat funding, which is still a cut given inflation, but the Senate is where we're seeing real actual programs, taking away dollars from existing programs,' Sweeney, D-Westlake, said. Ohio House Speaker Matt Huffman, R-Lima, is on board with the tax cut. Asked how he felt about McColley going into the conference committee already saying there were some non-negotiables, Huffman said he 'could probably list off a bunch of things that are non-negotiable unless somebody wants to go ahead and negotiate with them.' 'I think the flat tax is a great idea, so maybe they already knew that, so they could say it was non-negotiable,' he said. Huffman has always been interested in either eliminating the income tax or getting to a flat tax — but he, in mid-May, said this needed to be something done responsibly. 'Any reduction like that needs to be coupled with… 'On the other side of the ledger, where are the spending cuts going to be?'' Huffman said. 'I know that there's sort of a thought of, 'Well, just cut it and we'll figure that out later, but that's not what you're doing in budgets.' He continued, noting that he wasn't sure how big a change going from 3.5% to 2.75% truly was. 'The time to have a significant change in (income tax) is a plan you would have brought forth a year ago and then said, 'Here's what we're going to do with the budget with different cuts,'' Huffman said. Gov. Mike DeWine was not interested in a flat tax. 'There is not one company that said to us, 'We can't come to Ohio because your taxes are too high,'… We are now extremely competitive,'' DeWine said back when announcing his budget in February. Warzocha said she will continue working to make sure no one goes hungry, even with the expected funding cuts at both the state and federal levels. 'We have been reaching out to our community, and our community is responding,' she said. The budget has a deadline to be passed by July 1.
