And if you ask how much it is, it's not for you.

cool. But PCIe 4.0 is doing just fine for me thanks.

Sure. Or I am just making a commentary on how Micron has forgone the consumer market for this. Either way is fine as an interpretation though.

And the 640kB of RAM!

Are data centers already liquid cooling their PCIe 5 SSDs? It seems difficult to use these without that in place.

How does the latency compare to Optane?

Also, this makes me sad:

...AI race consuming NAND flash at an extraordinary rate, but consumer platforms have not yet adopted PCIe 6.0 (and won't until 2030), making a consumer variant completely useless.

Cool, so how do I go about buying one without being a multi-million-dollar enterprise?

Do the speeds of a PCIe 5.0 (or now 6.0) meaningfully affect anything for your average consumer? Would games load faster or files transfer faster? Or is this just at super high-end applications and hardware that you'd actually see a difference? I don't know if there's some other part of the hardware that would limit actual gains seen by the 5.0 and 6.0 specs.
