IT Home April 24 news, according to the reliable whistleblower Kopite7Kimi news, NVIDIA RTX 40 series graphics cards will still support PCIe 4.0, not the latest PCIe 5.0.
IT House has learned that Intel's latest 12th generation Core has supported PCIe 5.0, and some 600 series motherboards are also equipped with PCIe 5.0 Ready graphics card slots, so many people think that the new generation of graphics cards will support this standard. However, Nvidia RTX 40 graphics cards will support PCIe 4.0, possibly because pcIe 5.0 bandwidth is not needed.
As shown above, PCIe 5.0 x16 bandwidth will reach 128GB/s, double PCIe 4.0. At present, consumer-grade products do not seem to use such high bandwidth.
In March of this year, NVIDIA Hopper GPU Architecture, the first GPU architecture to officially support PCIe Gen5, is suitable for data centers.
The first device to use PCIe 5.0 on consumer products will be an SSD. IT House has reported that during this year's CES, vendors have announced plans to release PCIe 5.0 SSDs.
Shiquan Technology has now released its T-FORCE esports brand cardea series PCIe Gen5 SSD, which is expected to have continuous read and write speeds of up to 13,000/ 12,000MB/s and storage capacity of up to 4TB, with mass production in the third quarter.
