Phison E26 with Micron 232-layer NAND with Ryzen 5 7600X based PC Runs 10GB/sec and higher
Phison demonstrated its E26 controller with PCI Express 5.0 at Flash Memory Summit 2022. Ryzen 7000 processor and Micron 232-layer 3D NAND were also utilized.
First, a CrystalDiskMark snapshot shows a performance example with 10 GB/s sequential read and write. Phison demonstrated 12 GB/s in May; the products could even breach 13.5 GB/s. Tom's Hardware states that the system was outfitted with an AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU. 100-000000593-20 Y is the new Zen 4 processor with 6 cores and 12 threads. The engineering sample in a contentious CPU benchmark database has the same identification. This is a pre-production Ryzen 5 7600X processor. Micron's freshly mass-produced 232-layer 3D NAND will be used on the SSD prototype. Since it's intended to be faster than the same manufacturer's 176-layer NAND, the demo is disappointing. Phison said this combo needs testing and optimization. The "bare" M.2 2280 SSD demo lacked a cooler for maximum performance.
In September, Phison E26 PCIe 5.0 SSDs will debut alongside AMD's new desktop platform. The new AM5 architecture with PCIe 5.0 is a promotion / sales platform for this new technology.
Let's hope RND4K performance is risen as well, as it worries us a little that these tests are left out intentionally.

that is sad truth. I was hoping for PCIe 5 next gen Xpoint. As smart as this new Intel CEO is, and he is, he's been working quite hard to right the wrongs of the past, however, no one is perfect, and dumping the SSD biz right before PCIe 5 and not having PCIe 5 SSD's is his one mistake so far.
That said, maybe he knows somthing in the industry we dont ?

Eh, not that interested in replacing my 3 3.0x4 NVMe drives until that last test..........the one they never seem to run..........is any better than what I already have. We need better random 4kqd1 numbers, not the large and deep depth sequentials!

True story!
It's like buying 64core cpu with high latency for gaming. There is no point. Only spesific load will use high QD and high bandwidth. It's so rare, that you need synthetic benchmark to measure it :p
My Optane 900p for OS and most used games/programs. No ssd is close to the performance, even sequential speeds is a bit low compared to some new nvme ssd`s

Wasted opportunity for Intel to have PCIe 5.0 and not having SSD's with PCIe 5.0.
