The PCI Express 5.0 standard has only just begun to reach the consumer side. However, the new information that has emerged reveals some test results such as the bandwidth and read speeds of PCIe 6.0. So the PCIe 6.0 standard may come faster than expected.
PCIe 6.0 doubled its predecessor by 2!
Currently, the most performing SSDs on the market are stuck at the speed limit of PCIe 4.0. A major hurdle was that this standard limited read and write speeds to 7,800 Mb/s. The newly announced PCIe 5.0 can offer speeds of up to 14,000 Mb/s, which is almost double that.
Samsung’s new PM1743 model numbered SSD, whose benchmark test results have emerged recently, reached 13,829 Mb/s speed with the PCIe 5.0 standard, enabling the company to break a record. In other words, it almost doubled its predecessor 4.0 models.
SSDs that will have PCIe 6.0 technology will double their predecessors in terms of speed, just as 5.0 did to 4.0. In other words, it will be able to reach 28,000 Mb/s speeds. In addition, it will be able to transfer 128 Gbps in one direction and 256 Gbps in two directions over the X16 slot.
It is good news to hear that 6.0 will come sooner than expected, these days when we have just moved to the PCI Express 5.0 standard. However, it is still in the development phase at the moment. Therefore, it would not be right to wait in the next 2 years.
In 2024, pioneering companies are expected to introduce their first models or commercial versions, just as with PCIe 5.0 now. Therefore, it seems that it will enter the houses by 2025 at the earliest. Therefore, it would make more sense to focus on adapting to 5.0 during this time.
