This is why Phison, a leader in NAND flash solutions, is excited to introduce its first PCIe Gen5 SSD controller\u2014the P5026-E26. The E26 was designed for high-performance PCs and enterprise applications alike. Unlike previous Phison controllers, the E26 was designed from the ground up as a dual-purpose solution making it overbuilt for standard consumer applications but just right for enthusiasts and enterprise customers that demand more than the status quo.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n\u00a0<\/h3>\nFulfilling the promise of Gen5 performance<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn May 2022, Phison tested the E26 PCIe Gen5 SSD controller, using an ASUS ROG X670E HERO motherboard running an AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU prototype. The results were extremely encouraging\u2014with a sequential read speed of about 12.5 GB\/s and a sequential write speed of 10 GB\/s. When it comes to random performance, the E26 showed vast improvement over previous generations with 1.5 million 4K read IOPS and up to 2 million write IOPS.
Those tests show that the Phison E26 is set to offer almost 2x the performance for both sequential and random reads and writes over the company\u2019s Gen4 flagship SSD using the same spec M.2 form factor<\/a> and power limitations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

One area where these ultra-fast SSD speeds will make an enormous difference is in gaming load times when used in combination with the Microsoft DirectStorage API. The first game to take advantage of those improvements will be Forspoken, developed by Luminous Productions<\/a> and is currently set for a January 2023 release.<\/p>\nUntil gamers can leverage DirectStorage, however, the E26 SSD controller\u2019s high sequential transfer speeds are still going to be beneficial in use cases such as large video file transfers and professional applications where data manipulation takes priority over CPU-bound processing. .<\/p>\n

Built with advanced components for future-proof performance<\/strong><\/h3>\nPhison developed the E26 to meet not only today\u2019s high-performance needs but to also enable future technologies that rely on streaming workloads instead of bursty workloads that currently dominate the software sphere. As this changeover occurs over the coming years and developers move to streaming workloads, the E26 provides the best-in-class performance for your existing and future software requirements seem seamless as the E26 provides both the necessary snappy response and bandwidth to power through diverse workloads.<\/p>\n
The E26 is built on a 12nm process node and can support both TLC and QLC NAND flash memory<\/a> with data transfer speeds of up to 2400 MT\/s. The controller uses Arm Cortex-R5 cores that work together with Phison\u2019s specialized accelerators from its CoXProcessor 2.0 family<\/a>. The company\u2019s processor IP is based on a foundation of Arm cores to achieve the optimal balance of high performance and low power requirements for storage applications.<\/p>\n
