Changes in form factor and design philosophy have also impacted PCI slot evolution in addition to performance enhancements. The development of miniaturized PCIe slots, such as mPCIe (mini PCI Express) and M.2daman gam slots, is a result of the trend toward smaller and more compact devices. These smaller formats work especially well with laptops and small desktop computers where space is limited. Also, improvements in thermal design and power management have made it possible for expansion cards to operate more efficiently, guaranteeing that high-performance components can operate with minimal power consumption or overheating.
