PCI SIG Releases PCI-Express Gen 4.0 Specifications

Are you going to keep being an ass or are you volunteering?
Give them a break, were lucky enough that they post news articles. A few typos isn't the end of the world, seriously. I promise that you won't die.

You are right. Sorry, I know I am too critical at times. Do understand I was responding to Dave and not trying to pile on. Overall TPU does a good job here of volume news writing, there is no doubt. I get all of my quick hitters here.

If Prima is talking to me about language, I speak three relatively fluent. Jeez.

Perhaps when I am not volunteering as an editor/reviewer for my 7th year at one overclocking site and a paid freelancer at another, I will apply.

And only if that PCIe 4 SSD is able to saturate PCIe 3.0 bandwidth in the first place would it be worth it.

Not just in that case, if you can have (on a none HEDT board) an NVME at current speeds (e.g. @3200MB/sec) only needing 2 lanes instead of 4, you can have two of them at full speed versus 1 (think AM4).

Likewise you can have 4 graphics cards with the same b/w each as you currently have for 2. SGTM!

On the "other" topic. I'd be happy to proof maybe 3 or 4 articles/day, if folks want to send them to me in advance of publishing - although I do have eyesight issues at the moment, surgery soon.

Oh and shouldn't that be "relatively fluently"?

I want to see threadripper booting off of a pcie 4.0x16 nvme ssd in 2 way raid 0. Talk about faassssstttt

How fast? My current NVME with i7700k boots in the 15-17 second range but I usually just put it to sleep.

Youd need faster drives to see a difference. Most dont currently saturate pcie 3.0. The reason why you dont see scaling in most R0 NVMe is because they go through the dmi3.0 pipe (limited to pcie 3.0 4x).

That's why I said a pcie 4.0x16 ssd so that it would go maximize its speed

960 Pro already saturates the PCIE 3.0 x4 lines on M.2 format.... I'm curious to see 2 of those drives in a RAID0 setup on a PCI 4.0. Right now it's capping at 3.5GB/s...

Because of the DMI3.0 it has to go through I would imagine. It needs a x8 AIC or 2 CPU connected M.2 slots to bypass the DMI.
