Sure, but my point was that it should be quite possible to get regular NVMes working.

Once you got that then the CPU is just the orchesterator, and wouldn't necessarily need to be so beefy.

That's just called DirectStorage and was added as part of Windows 10 (erm.... some update in Windows 10).

The PS5 and Xbox both have GPU-access of NVMe Flash.

So you are right. But what you are talking about happened like 5 years ago.

Looks like 3 years ago for Win10. But I feel like I heard it sooner than that as NVidia or AMD specific API calls.
