hothardware Silicon Motion Preps PCIe 5.0 SSD Controllers For Blistering Next Gen Storage

[ENTERPRISE]

Quote

It may seem hard to believe, but storage makers are already approaching the limits of the PCI Express 4.0 bus in a typical NVMe drive, with the latest controller designs pushing transfer speeds in the neighborhood of 7 gigabytes per second (GB/s). That being the case, Silicon Motion is already at work developing controllers that leverage the PCI Express 5.0 bus.

If they wouldn't be working at PCIe 5.0 controllers I'd be shocked, we're expecting PCIe 5.0 will be present within the next 2-3 years, there are even rumors that AM5 might launch with PCIe 5.0 support, imho, 5.0 will probably come with 2nd or 3rd CPU gen on AM5.
