Add a commentPhison Electronics Corp., a leading provider of NAND controller and flash storage solutions, announced today a strategic collaboration with AMD and Micron to build a cooperative PCIe Gen5 ecosystem of compatible products that elevate the gaming and creator experience. Phison’s role includes delivering a class-leading PCie Gen5 SSD controller – PS5026-E26 – that features nearly a 2x performance increase over the previous generation flagship while adhering to the same power limitations of the M.2 form factor.
“We are pleased to announce our cooperative effort with Micron and AMD to advance the technological development of PCIe Gen5 storage offerings, as this validates Phison’s commitment to upholding customer-centric values,” said Leo Huang, Sr. Director, Product Marketing, Phison. “The E26 controller enables gamers to compete at the highest level and helps content creators to maximize the overall system performance to increase productivity.”
The need for high-speed storage has increased with the popularity of 5G Wireless availability worldwide. Global markets including desktop PC, notebooks, gaming consoles, cloud servers and even mobile devices will benefit from increased data transfer rates and the bandwidth available for multitask purposes. The ecosystem consisting of AMD’s AM5 platform, Phison’s PS5026-E26 controller, Micron’s DDR5 DRAM and Replacement Gate 3D NAND allow for platform acceleration across the entire system to meet the requirements for today’s always-connected lifestyle.
Add a commentThere’s another hot new ZADAK product on the market, and this one is going to take gamers one step beyond. It’s the TWSG4S M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD, and it delivers read-write speeds that many Gen4 x4 SSDs can’t – 7,400 and 7,000 MB/s, respectively. This is an ideal expansion SSD for new game consoles and PCs, giving players the chance to dominate their games. It ships with two powerful heatsinks in the box. One is made of ultra-thin graphene and the other of aluminum, and they reduce the operating temperatures by 15% and 35% respectively.
Choose The Heatsink That Suits Your Needs
Either will fit inside the PS5, but notebooks will only permit the installation of the graphene heatsink. PC gamers will quickly see the advantages of this SSD, but it’s also fully compliant with the technical requirements and physical dimensions of Sony’s PS5, so console gamers will love it too.
