Silicon Motion says it’s working on next-gen PCIe 5.0 SSD controllers – TweakTown
Silicon Motion announces that it is developing new SSD controllers for the next-gen PCIe 5.0 standard, dropping in 2023.
Silicon Motion has announce that it has kicked off development for PCIe 5.0 SSD controllers, preparing for the big next-gen wave of NVMe M.2 SSDs.
Right now the PCIe 4.0-based NVMe drives are maxing out at about 7GB/sec, so we should expect up to 14-16GB/sec or so from PCIe 5.0-based NVMe SSDs of the future. Most PCIe 4.0 SSDs come are on the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and can still pump away at 7GB/sec, so a PCIe 5.0 x4 SSD should offer around 14GB/sec.
PCIe 4.0 x16 has up to 32GB/sec of bandwidth available…
