AMD, which launched its Ryzen 7040 series (Phoenix) APUs at CES earlier this year, has quietly throttled the core clock speeds of the onboard IGP. PCIe 5.0 also never came to Phoenix.
Microsoft promised big things for PC gaming with its new DirectStorage API. The first title to feature the technology, Forspoken, is out and test results definitely look quite impressive.
The adoption of PCIe 5.0 SSDs could finally take off with the launch of upcoming Ryzen 7000 and Intel 13th Gen processors. However, not all PCIe Gen5 SSDs are made equal as some models are slower.
Gigabyte has launched today its new Gen5 10000 NVMe SSD. This next-gen product delivers 10GB/s or over 10,000MB/s of write speed, hence justifying its name. However, older platforms won't support it.
Intel13th Gen Raptor Lake-S launch is right around the corner and as such, leaks are coming in thick and fast. The latest one shows Raptor Lake will continue using DDR4 memory too alongside DDR5.
In a recent interview, AMD explained the benefits of its new SmartAccess Storage (SAS) tech which it debuted at Computex. The company also confirmed that not all NVMe SSDs are SAS ready.
A few hours ago, AMD's Computex 2022 presentation details regarding its Zen 4 architecture and Ryzen 7000 leaked. Now, we have information on the accompanying AM5 socket and the 600-series chipsets.
While Nvidia has already added PCIe 5.0 power support to its recently launched RTX 3090 Ti, the company is reportedly skipping the addition of PCIe 5.0 bus support on its RTX 4000 Ada Lovelace GPUs.

Asus has confirmed via a recent change to the specifications of its Asus ROG Thor Platinum II SMPS that the upcoming 12-pin power connector will be able to deliver up to 450W of power instead of 600.
Memory and storage maker ADATA will show off a couple of sample PCIe 5.0-based NVMe SSDs at the upcoming CES 2022 event. These drives, the company claims, could read at speeds of up to 14GB/s.

Intel's Alder Lake-S compatible 600 series motherboards may not all feature the new PCIe 5.0 technology according to a new report. The motherboard models seem to not indicate this difference clearly.
