SSD controller maker Silicon Motion says its consumer PCIe 6.0 roadmap is driven by Nvidia, not by AMD and Intel — RTX Spark agentic AI platform fuels a hunger for storage bandwidth
Silicon Motion, a maker of SSD controllers, is prioritizing its PCIe 6.0 roadmap for client systems based on Nvidia's upcoming product releases rather than those from AMD or Intel. The company anticipates launching its enterprise-grade PCIe 6.0 SSD controllers this year, with client-focused versions expected by late 2027. This strategic alignment is driven by Nvidia's increasing focus on client-side hardware and its demand for high storage bandwidth to support AI applications like those powered by its RTX Spark chips.
