Samsung releases AMD-powered smart SSD

2 years ago

Samsung has just released their 2nd generation computational storage device or you know a “smart SSD”.
The storage device is powered by an AMD Xilinx FPGA & promises up to 50% reduced computational times, lowered power consumption & about a 97% lower CPU utilization with frequently-accessed data..
So regular consumers might not know, but just transferring a lot of data can be very CPU intensive.
In fact a few years back I was filling up a database with data that needed processing & my old 4-core 4770K CPU was the bottleneck not my Corsair MP510 NvME SSD.
So will this make your games run faster; no not really.
But in workflows with a lot of frequently accessed data, this can make a big difference, just like you by following the Tech News.
