Inclusion of new module definitions such as the M.2 3052 and 3060 WWAN modules. 3. Physical and Electrical Enhancements
Furthermore, the final Version 1.0 includes enhancements to the physical connection of the M.2 slot itself, ensuring better contact, greater stability, and reduced electrical noise at these higher frequencies. This includes new methods for measuring signal quality to ensure that motherboards and drives can reliably communicate at Gen 5 speeds without excessive bit errors. Inclusion of new module definitions such as the M
