The new PCIe standard 4.0 was introduced with the release of the AMD CPUs Ryzen 3xxx and the mainboards with the chipset X570. This doubles the transfer speed of a PCI lane compared to PCI Express 3.0. NVMe-M.2 SSDs, which are directly connected to the new Ryzen CPUs with four lanes, benefit most from this. Theoretically, transmission speeds of up to 8 GBit/s are now possible. Gigabyte is one of the first manufacturers to offer the new AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSDs, which can use the new PCIe standard, which is particularly reflected in the write speed, which is here at a maximum of 4,400 MB/s. Gigabyte is one of the first manufacturers to offer the new AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSDs. Even in PCIe 3.0 systems, Gigabyte's new NVMe-M.2 SSDs run faster than their predecessors.
