Increasing its plans for gamers, AMD seems to have finally turned to storage solutions. According to the first leaked information, the new technology, called Smart Access Storage, will likely provide some kind of storage acceleration innovation.
It is not yet clear what exactly Smart Access Storage will do, which is expected to surface at Computex 2022, which will start at the end of May. However, leaking sources pointed out the advantages for gaming PCs.
AMD will revolutionize storage with Smart Access Storage
According to a new report in VideoCardz, AMD is working on a technology that will help its users with storage and games. It was stated that this feature, called Smart Access Storage, whose function is still unclear, will first take place on Corsair Voyager laptops.
It seems possible that the new Smart Access Storage, which is thought to be based on Microsoft DirectStorage API, will shorten the waiting time especially in games. The DirectStorage API, which was made available in March, was intrigued by greatly reducing the loading times of games. Previously, this feature was available on Xbox Series consoles.
Microsoft’s technology has other capabilities besides reducing game load times on NVMe SSDs. The API, which allows the assets in the game to load faster, ensures the smooth operation of open world games in particular. We think AMD’s solution will do similar things.
Voyager series, which will be Corsair’s first gaming laptop, is scheduled to be released in June after the Computex 2022 launch. It seems likely that Corsair, which is working on the new SSD solution in cooperation with AMD, will give official information during the Computex 2022 event.
Corsair Voyager laptop is thought to include Ryzen 9 6900HX processor and Radeon RX 6800M graphics card and will be a fully AMD supported gaming computer. Therefore, it is not surprising that it is the first model to use AMD’s new technology.
