Intel 'PCIe 4.0 compatible SSD' is already in the testing stage, but AMD CPU is required for testing
by
An Intel engineer revealed on Twitter that ' 2nd generation Optane SSD for PCI Express 4.0 ' is in the process of being tested. About this news, Techspot of technology media pointed out that `` the only problem is that there is no Intel CPU compatible with PCIe 4.0 '', and ironically, `` AMD will lend you a PCIe 4.0 compatible CPU '' Is.

The first generation Optane SSD is an SSD that uses the next-generation memory standard “ 3D Xpoint ”. Intel claims that the latency is one-tenth, the write life is three times, the write speed is four times, and the read speed is three times that of conventional NAND flash memory .
Frank Ober, a member of Intel's Technical Marketing Performance Division, provided the news that the '2nd generation Optane SSD' equipped with 2nd generation 3D Xpoint is already in the testing stage. Mr. Ober tweeted to Glauber Costa of ScyllaDB , 'Why not test with a PCIe 4.0 compliant 2nd generation Optane SSD? I will setup it.' In addition to the 'experimental phase,' it became clear that '2nd generation Optane SSDs will be PCIe 4.0 compliant.'
@glcst would you like to test on gen2 pcie 4 capable optane ssd to see your code's potential? Then I can set that up for you.Send me a private email when you are ready ... @ axboe has his own ...

However, Techspot points out that the new SSD has a problem that 'Intel does not manufacture a CPU compatible with PCIe 4.0.' On the other hand, AMD already supports PCIe 4.0 with 3rd generation Ryzen, so the question comes up as 'Does Intel's SSD development department purchase AMD CPU for testing?'

According to a benchmark performed by Techspot, PCIe 4.0 compatible SSDs are up to twice as fast as writing speed and reading speed than PCIe 3.0 compatible SSDs, Techspot said, `` It is Intel CPU development to support PCIe 4.0 It may not be urgent for the department, but it is a big problem for the SSD development department. '

According to the leak information , Intel plans to start producing a 10 nm process CPU compatible with PCIe 4.0 in the latter half of 2020, and it is possible that `` Intel PCIe 4.0 compatible CPU '' will be released in early 2021 . Techspot states that 'if you test now, you'll probably buy an AMD CPU.'
