Intel SSD PCIe 5.
Intel packs huge performance into PCIe 5 SSDs.
Intel planned to conduct a series of live technology demonstrations, complementing the CES keynote was hosted by CEO Gregory Bryant. COVID mutations have led to cancellations of physical presence and it seems that Intel (and others) will only hold presentations product virtually.
One of the planned demonstrations was that of the PCIe 5 SSDIt didn't happen at CES, but Intel's Chief Performance Officer Ryan Shrout told us the results in Twitter:
Intel SSD PCIe 5 – The demonstration is about a Direct comparison between PCIe 4.0 and the next generation of the interface, 5.0.
Specifically, a WD Black PCIe 4.0 (which we analyzed here) and a Samsung PCIe 5.0 which for the occasion was the PM1743 business model since there are no consumer versions for sale for now.
The test was carried out on an Alder platform Lake with processor Core i9-12900K and the results were as expected.
If the WD 4.0 (one of the best in its segment) offers a performance In 7GB/s sequential read, the Samsung drive connected to PCIe 5.0 exceeded 13 Gbytes per second, almost double.
To make the test even more interesting, Shrout installed two SSD from Samsung in RAID to achieve 28 GB/s, a stratospheric brand for the consumer market.
However, due to the limited number of PCIe 5.0 lanes on the Alder Lake board, he had to remove the dedicated graphics so that solid state drives could achieve maximum performance.
It's just a demonstration, but it previews what's to come once manufacturers market PCIe 5.0 SSDs, which Intel already supports in Alder Lake and which AMD will also do with the new Ryzen.
It is clear that the SSD They have broken the traditional bottleneck of hard drives and opened a new scenario for internal storage.
We especially recommend them for any PC upgrade..
Even if it is a SATA model, you will notice it a lot.
