The PCIe 5.0 storage era is upon us, with both Intel and AMD platforms set to support the new standard before the end of this year. At Computex this week, the first consumer PCIe 5.0 SSD was announced, promising speeds of up to 13,000 MB/s.  Apacer and its gaming-focused subsidiary, …

Intel has pulled the curtain on the 12th Gen Core HX series mobile processors, revealing the next generation of CPUs aimed at high-end gaming laptops and mobile workstations. The line-up includes seven SKUs, all supporting DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 and overclocking, delivering desktop-like performance in a portable format. Based on the …

Intel is expected to announce the Alder Lake-HX chips on May 10th, during its Vision event. This processor line-up will bring 55W SKUs with PCIe 5.0 and overclocking support to the mobile segment, featuring up to eight P-cores and eight E-cores for mobile workstations and gaming laptops. According to the data …

We are still some months, if not a year, from seeing the first consumer PCIe 5.0 SSDs. Still, Phison, an SSD controller manufacturer, is already giving fair warning about the temperatures of these SSDs. SSDs are becoming faster and consuming more power with each new generation. According to Phison (via …

With the launch of Intel Alder Lake, PCIe 5.0 connectivity has been made available to consumers, but we have yet to see any PCIe 5.0 SSDs. That’s beginning to change, with Teamgroup announcing their first PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.0 SSD, which will launch later this year.

While all Intel Z690 motherboards support PCIe 5.0 connectivity, it seems that won't be the case for the upcoming B660 boards. A new leak this week suggests that some motherboards, like the Asus B660 Prime Plus D4, will use PCIe 4.0 instead.  A photo shared by VideoCardz shows the shipping …

The Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master is in the house, so we unbox it and give you a first look

The big day has arrived – Intel has officially launched its 12th Gen “Alder Lake” desktop processors and the Z690 chipset. ASUS is already well prepared for this generational leap, with a full stack of Z690 motherboards ready to go, with ROG Maximus leading the way.  The ASUS ROG series …

Recent rumours have claimed that Nvidia is working on multiple new RTX 30 series graphics cards. Apparently, we're not only going to get Super series GPUs, but there may also be an RTX 3090 Ti on the way. According to reports, the RTX 3090 Ti may come with a new PCIe 5.0 connector, capable of delivering up to 600W of power. 

PCIe 4.0 is currently the fastest standard we have for consumer SSDs, but with Intel Alder Lake-S coming later this year, we expect to see the first PCIe 5.0 SSDs hitting the market in the near future. This week, Phison revealed that its PCIe 5.0 SSD controller is coming next …

This week during the China Flash Memory Summit, Kioxia gave us a glimpse at the future of SSDs. While PCIe 4.0 is still relatively new, SSD makers are already working on PCIe 5.0 drives, and Kioxia's prototype is already capable of hitting very impressive speeds.  Photos of Kioxia's event posted …

Samsung is getting ready to release the 7th Generation of V-NAND chips featuring 176 layers in 2H 2021. Additionally, Samsung is already working on the 8th Generation of V-NAND, which use +200 layers, and there are even plans for 1,000-layer V-NAND memory in the future.  The first 176-layer V-NAND memory …

New Intel Alder Lake-S details have leaked this week, giving us a glimpse at what to expect from Intel's hybrid architecture CPU design. As it turns out, Alder Lake-S could provide a significant performance boost, with leaked presentation slides detailing a 20 percent uplift in single-thread performance. 

As SSDs are getting closer to reaching the theoretical speed limit of PCIe 4.0 x4 interfaces, Silicon Motion has started to develop PCIe 5.0 SSD controllers for the next generation of NVMe M.2 SSDs. Currently, there are PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs capable of transferring data at over 7GB/s. Although PCIe 4.0 …

Kioxia is hard at work on the future of NVMe SSD technology, introducing a new form-factor. In the latest demonstration, Kioxia began opening up about its new E3.S SSD form factor, which targets PCIe 5.0 and beyond while enabling higher density and performance compared to what is currently on the …

As the UK prepares to officially leave the European Union this Friday (31st January), the European Processor Initiative (EPI) is priming the first prototype of its HPC processor designed for advanced computing applications. The EPI was set up by the European Commission as part of the Framework Partnership Agreement, with …
