PCI-E 5.0 should bring with it some tangible benefits for nvme drives... With drives up-to 16GB/s for the nvme form factor. 128GB/s for PCI-E add-in cards.
That SSD bandwidth is more than the memory bandwidth of the WiiU.
NAND is improving at a rapid pace... And PCI-E is struggling to keep up, PCI-E 5.0 should drop in 2022 for consumer markets.
Intel will have PCI-E 5.0 boards in 2021, but they are socket LGA4677, xeon/workstation/server stuff.
Sadly next-gen consoles won't be able to take advantage of the next gen PCI-E 5.0 SSD's that are a year or two away from releasing, but they will be able to saturate the PCI-E 4.0 buses.
