Honestly just feels like next gen PCs will be microwave ovens at that point. CPUs gonna be hotter, GPUs gonna be hotter, RAM gonna be hotter and even SSDs gonna be hotter let alone the wattage increases. I do not envy those that are in warmer climates.

And yea, the entire video is facepalm worthy. Also it looks like both Nvidia and AMD AIBs just filed their registration at the EEC:

I think it's pretty damn clear the launch will be happening sooner than later unlike what Jay says.

I don' tthink we'll see Gen 5 SSD drives this year and, when they come out, they'll be crazy expensive. Besides, in most real world tests it's hard to tell apart a good Gen 3 from a good Gen 4 drive so, will it really make sense to go Gen 5 vs going with a higher capacity Gen 4?

It's surprising to see the Super cards mentioned again in the listing, but I don't see what could they be used for this late in the gen.

The annoying thing is that SSD manufacturers probably won't increase capacity of Gen 4 SSDs to over 2TB for consumers. Like it's very annoying to see the prices of 4TB and 8TB SSDs being insane prices despite being QVO and the speeds being much slower.  I would rather have a Gen 3 or Gen 4 8TB SSD over Gen 5 2TB SSD anyday of the week but alas. It's probably cheaper to increase the speeds of the controller than to make more nand chips.
