The specification maintains physical backward compatibility. An M-key M.2 socket (the common SSD slot) still has 67 pins. However, the pin assignments for differential pairs (PETp/n, PERp/n) add stricter between lanes. Rev 5.0 mandates that lane-to-lane skew not exceed 1.0ns—half of the 4.0 requirement—to allow proper receiver equalization.

: New requirements for high-speed differential pair AC coupling capacitor values were added to ensure signal stability at 32 GT/s frequencies. Physical and Mechanical Evolution pci express m.2 specification revision 5.0 version 1.0 pdf

PCIe 5.0 mandates of up to 10 dB and Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE) with at least 5 taps for M.2 devices. The specification adds specific DFE coefficient training sequences during link initialization (Phase 2 and Phase 3 of PCIe 5.0 equalization). The specification maintains physical backward compatibility

: Incorporates a new 0.75 V core voltage in the PWR_3 rail specifically for BGA SSDs to improve energy efficiency. PERp/n) add stricter between lanes.
