[News] New Super-Fast Storage Device Could Make AI Tasks Easier

www.tomshardware.com SK hynix jumps on the AI bandwagon with its first PCIe 5.0 SSD

AI marketing seeps into the SSD space.

SK hynix has made a new super-fast computer storage device called the PCB01. They say it's great for AI tasks, like helping chatbots and AI companions work faster. The PCB01 can move data really quickly, which means AI programs could load and respond faster, almost as quick as humans talk. This could make AI companions feel more natural to chat with. The device is also good for gaming and high-end computers. While SK hynix says it's special for AI, it seems to be just as fast as other top storage devices. The big news is that this is SK hynix's fastest storage device yet, moving data twice as fast as their previous best. This kind of speed could help make AI companions and other AI programs work much more smoothly on regular computers.

So much text, so much talk about speed, but not even one number. About 13 GB/s. comparable to crucial T705, not sure why this is supposed to be special?
