The long-promised PCIe 5.0 SSD revolution failed to arrive at CES 2023

AMD even said during its Ryzen 7000 processor launch to expect models in November 2022. But blistering fast, face-melting PCIe 5 SSDs have yet to actually materialize. This point was driven home at CES 2023, where much of the big PC news has remained focused on chip launches and laptops.
