PCIe 5.0 SSDs have already begun to appear in advance of CES 2022, with Samsung and Adata previewing early gear that supports the new standard. And now Intel has produced a new demo film demonstrating Samsung’s new PM1743 PCIe NVMe SSD in action (together with Intel’s Core i9-12900K CPU) to achieve real-world data rates of over 13GB/s.
To put that in context, the PlayStation 5 boasts a PCIe Gen 4 SSD as one of its primary selling factors, with Sony claiming that the ultra-fast speeds on its solid-state drive enable near-instant load times on its consoles. That drive has a peak speed of roughly 5.5GB/s, which is more than half the performance of the Intel / Samsung combination.
Of course, that type of data transfer rate isn’t exactly the most practical setup right now. since it needs a computer equipped with Intel’s most powerful processor and an enterprise-grade SSD that isn’t even available yet.
Nonetheless, the presentation is excellent, demonstrating the possibilities of what next-generation storage systems may provide once PCIe 5.0 drives become the norm.
