  1. Random thought...

    I feel like a #Pcie5 #NVME #SSD could be worth the investment, just for the #OperatingSystem (be it #Linux and its Libraries/Swap or #Windows) and other main-load programs like #Steam and #Firefox (or another #WebBrowser), but the cheapest ones are nearly $200 and they're all at least 1TB... I wonder if we will see cheaper quarter-TB ones in the next couple years, because that feels like it'd be a good way to utilize the PCIe5 NVME slot in my fancy motherboard...

    ...or I could be wrong: it has been pointed out that PCIe5 drive speeds are mainly only useful for sequential reads, as lookup times create latency comparable to PCIe4, and that makes up the majority of read-time for smaller files. Maybe that can be improved? Maybe Linux distros will implement something that makes core libs load as big blocks? Or we'll have a way to speed up common lookups on the #OS side?

    If possible, it'd be good for keeping current-gen #computers relevant over the next decade.

  3. 🚫 Oh, the riveting tale of "403 Forbidden"! Apparently, PCIe 5.0's greatest impact is turning GPU creators into digital outcasts while #LLMs sit in a corner weeping. 🤖📴 Thanks, #nginx, for blocking our access to enlightenment.

  4. If you think #PCIe5.0 is hot, Intel is purposefully slowing #PCIe6.0 to avoid/compensate for #thermalthrottling

  5. #AMD 3D #VCache enables #RAMdisk to hit 182 GB/s speeds — over 12X faster than the fastest #PCIe5.0 #SSD
    A RAM disk delivered sequential read and write speeds around 178 GB/s and 163 GB/s, respectively, in #CrystalDiskMark reportedly from a RAM disk running on AMD's #Ryzen7 #7800X3D #CPU. Nemez, a user on X (Twitter), discovered the method. The method is based on #OSFMount, free software that allows you to create RAM disks and mount the image files in different formats.
