AMD processors provide PCIe lanes, some of which are intended for use with NVMe SSDs but nothing on the chip actually implements or understands NVMe and the lanes used for the SSD in a typical system design are still fully generic PCIe lanes.
- paulmd 4y ago> nothing on the chip actually implements or understands NVMe pretty sure that's false as well... can an X300 system boot a NVMe drive? I'd assume yes. It does that with a UEFI which lives... where? Oh right, on the chip. Most NVMe SSDs don't provide legacy option roms anymore either.
