AMD, Phison, and Micron demo a Ryzen 7000 CPU an 10,000 MB/s PCIe 5.0 SSD

We've reached a point where this has just became very stupid... Why does any end-user need 12gbps SSD speeds? If it weren't for newer games that will probably require higher than PCI-E 3.0 speeds for use with direct storage then PCIE4 speeds would already be excessive. In fact most PC users that only use their PC for web browsing and office applications are perfectly happy with SATA SSD speeds.

This is purely for marketing reasons, as you said yourself, the average user today barely exceeds gen 3 speeds.

Intel's 905p is still by far the best SSD that you can have for pretty much any workload. P5800X was so fast that it broke kernels, and software. Sadly Intel doesn't make them anymore. 10K on seq performance doesn't mean a thing to anyone except a data center server.

Actually it is more software than hardware problem. SSDs need to pretend to be Hard Drives for Operating Systems and Apps. OSs and Apps still don't know how to work with flash memory. For them SSD is just a super fast spinning rust drive.
