Windows 10: M.2 NVME pcie gen 4

Does anybody know if Samsung is releasing a Gen 4 PCIe NVME SSD? I'm just wondering.

:)

 

about intel optane memory + NVMe™ M.2 SSD

nitially

intel optane memory M10(16,32,64gb)PCIe NVMe M.2 3.0x2 was for accelerating 2.5'SATA mechanical HDD regardless of which generation intel CPUs.

also note :

not talking about Intel® Optane™ Memory H10 with Solid State Storage (32gb+1tb, 32gb+512gb ,16gb+256gb)PCIe NVMe3.0x4 that comes as a single m.2 drive which is mounted on single m.2 slot

but now why

intel optane memory M15(16,32,64gb)(PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4)is-- paired with --PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSDs {which is mounted on two differnt m.2 slots on 7th ,8th and 9th gen intel CPUs}

what is the purpose

ex: 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD + Intel® Optane™ memory 32 GB on (Intel® Core™ i7 9750H) seen from HPs Omen X 2S - 15 Gaming Laptop.

 

What does the X4 mean in an M.2 PCIe Gen 3.0 X4 NVME drive?

I'm not aware of any NVMe SSDs that are currently above the M.2 PCIe Gen 3.0 X4 standard. I'm not sure about PCIe adapters, but my motherboard is capable of running M.2 PCIe Gen 3.0 X4 drives in one of its two M.2 slots. I lose two of its six SATA slots when I do this though.

 

What does the X4 mean in an M.2 PCIe Gen 3.0 X4 NVME drive?

I need to buy an adapter card to make use of an M.2 PCIe Gen 3.0 X4 NVME drive. The question I have is what does the X4 mean? The adapter card I am looking at can be used in a X4, X8 or X16 PCIe slot and they say I will get up to 32Gbps when it is plugged into a PCIe X16 slot. Is the X4 in the description of the NVME drive a minimum requirement and it will work better plugged into an X8 or X16 slot? *Confused
