Introduction:
intel and AMD have released new generation platforms at the end of
. Intel's 13th generation Core is equivalent to the enhanced version of the 12th generation, adding more small cores but still does not support the PCI-E 5.0 interface M.2 SSD; AMD directly cuts off the backbone of using DDR4 memory, and the graphics card and M.2 SSD of DDR5+PCI-E 5.0 are fully supported. In addition, agricultural companies have received a wave of special offers a while ago, and the sincerity of the new Ryzen 7000 platform has become even more strong. But, do you really need to buy PCI-E 5.0 SSD as soon as possible?
PCI-E 5.0 SSD is not far from us. Qunlian has launched a new master E26, which can support a transmission rate of up to 12.4GBps, which means that 12.4GB of data can be transmitted per second. However, most manufacturers' PCI-E 5.0 SSDs limit the speed to 10GB/s transmission speed, and have not reached the ideal state of 12.4GB/s. Currently, only the PCI-E 5.0 SSD of Gigabyte can run to a speed of 12.4GB/s. Others, including manufacturers, are actually in the state of a residual blood version. So from this perspective, the first batch of PCI-E 5.0 solid-state drives should be purchased with caution. The reason why
has such a problem has little to do with the main control and the manufacturer, mainly because of the NAND chip. There is no problem with the performance of the Qunlian E26 chip, but to fully adapt to this chip, the NAND flash memory chip needs to reach a rate of 2400MT/s. During the demonstration of Qunlian, the reason why it can reach a rate of 12.4GB/s was used by the new generation of 3D NAND chip of Micron . This chip can reach a rate of 2400MT/s, so it is possible to enable Group Main Control to fully perform its performance. In order to ensure the capacity of and reduce costs, some manufacturers purchased chips with slowdowns of 1600MT/s, while Gigabyte still purchased chips with 2400MT/s.
It can be said that the first batch of PCI-E 5.0 SSDs may not be able to fully release performance, but they must be relatively high, which is also a common problem for new products.
The latest and fastest products are only suitable for tall, rich and handsome people. For the majority of wages, cost-effectiveness and stability are more worth considering. Today I will share with you a SSD that costs less than 40 cents for 1GB and is suitable for workers to install - Jinbaida KP260 1TB.
Introduction to this article:

2, test platform introduction
3, Jinbaida KP260 performance on Intel and AMD dual platforms
4, summary and personal suggestions
1, Jinbaida KP260 unboxing
Speaking of which, Jinbaida KP260 is not a new product, and has helped many relatives and friends install the machine as early as last year. The main reason for this Amway is that it has reached a ratio of less than 4 cents of 1GB, which is the rhythm of directly killing the third and fourth lines.
Jinbaida KP260 supports national joint warranty and three-year warranty. I believe that the capacity of 1TB is enough for most people to use it directly for download disks.
KP260 is a mainstream 2280 specification M.2 SSD, suitable for existing desktop, notebook and other devices. Of course, the M.2 SSD was originally designed for superbooks. The early interface was named NGFF, and it has five specifications: 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110, but now it is basically the world of 2280.
is actually 22, and the number behind it is the length. The longer the length, the more particles it can accommodate, and the larger the capacity. There are few new products available for those with 2260 and below. The 22110 is basically an ultra-large-capacity SSD on the server, such as 4TB level. In addition, Macbook also has an NGFF interface, but its shape is incompatible with the PC platform in all aspects. I personally like PC, which is convenient and inexpensive.
I remember the first time I used PCI-E 4.0 SSD on the AMD X470 platform, the ceremony was full of ritual. A large piece of pure copper heat sink on the M.2 SSD was like salmon sushi. That's just because the first products that used group main controls had a very terrible heat generation, and they could only use thick heat sinks to suppress them. The problem with thick heat sinks is that they cannot be installed on any laptop, even gaming laptops do not have this extra space.
A while ago, I saw that the e-commerce company has its own small fan cooling module. I personally think it is quite ridiculous. Don’t count on this thing, let alone laptops, even desktops may have a graphics card, especially for friends who use multiple M.2 SSDs on desktops.
Jinbaida KP260 adopts an optional heat dissipation design. We can install heat dissipation through the included heat dissipation fin and thermal grease , and it can also be used when not installed. On the one hand, most mid-to-high-end motherboards come with M.2 SSD heat sinks. On the other hand, even if this simple heat dissipation is installed, the thickness increase is almost ignored, and even thin and light notebooks can be used normally. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t install it, and the heat generated by itself is very low.
Jinbaida KP260 adopts a one-sided design, with brand and related information on one side without any chips or particles. The biggest advantage of single-sided design is that it is more conducive to heat dissipation, and it also requires a higher integration of NAND particles.
main control and four particles are on the other side, and this side is facing upward with a heat sink.
main control chip is used in the main control of
. This MAP1602 main control chip is the third-generation PCIe (NVMe) main control chip launched by Lianyun Technology. It adopts the world's leading 12nm process technology design and supports the PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe 2.0 interface technology standard.
MAP1602 is the world's first SSD master chip that supports 2400MT/s NAND flash memory without overclocking; the world's first SSD master chip that supports PCIe 4.0 (NVMe2.0) without external cache; the world's first four-channel (no external cache) with measured sequential read performance up to 7400MB/s; the world's first PCIe 4.0 SSD master chip with measured sequential read performance up to 7400MB/s; the world's BALL PITCH 0.65mm, 7.1mm*11mm minimum package size PCIe 4.0 SSD master chip.
This is a main control chip for the mainstream market and has also appeared on many mainstream products.
NAND particles come from the domestic Jiangbolong, and the model is RH14TAA14422566.
passed the software detection and should be produced by Jiang Bolong packaging and Guoxin Yangtze Memory. The latest generation of 128L 3D V3 TLC particles of Yangtze Memory (YMTC), that is, TAS particles codenamed X2-9060, have a single Die 512Gb, and a total of 16 Die, each Die is connected to 1CE, and a total of 16CE channels are used.
Changjiang Storage Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Changjiang Storage") was established in July 2016 and is headquartered in Wuhan "Jiangcheng". In October 2017, Changjiang Storage successfully designed and manufactured China's first 3D NAND MLC flash memory through a combination of independent research and development and international cooperation. In September 2019, 64-layer TLC 3D NAND flash memory equipped with Changjiang Storage's independent innovative Xtacking® architecture was officially mass-produced. On April 13, 2020, the Xtacking® 2.0 architecture was innovatively released, launching 128-layer QLC and TLC products.
Jinbaida's SSD and memory are both national cores that use Yangtze Memory, which are guaranteed in terms of quality and price. How is the performance of Guoxin? The following test can help you solve your doubts.
2. Introduction to the test platform
test uses AMD and Intel dual platforms. Let’s take a look at the AMD platform.
CPU I use the six-core 12-thread Ryzen 5 7600X, the base frequency is 4.7GHz, the acceleration frequency is 5.3GHz, and it is also a 32MB Level 3 cache, 6MB Level 2 cache, and the thermal design power consumption is 105W. Although the multi-core and multi-threading ability is not good at running scores, thanks to the performance improvement of the new generation of Ryzen and the benefits brought by the high frequency and high bandwidth of DDR5 memory, for gamers, this is a good CPU of 1,000 yuan.
To play the latest Ryzen 7000 series, of course, you need a new generation of Ryzen motherboard. The new generation of Ryzen uses an AM5 interface, which looks similar to AM4 in appearance, but is actually not the same thing.
AM4 and previous AMD CPUs are still inherited from the ancestral needle. The biggest trouble with CPUs is that they will get a Barbie Q if they accidentally break the needle. Intel started to cancel the CPU pins from the LGA775 interface around 2007, while AMD only became CPU pinless since AM5, and the pins were on the CPU socket on the motherboard. In theory, it means significantly reducing the risk of accidents, but transferring the maintenance pressure to the motherboard.
Simply put, a CPU with a pin is equivalent to a plug, and a motherboard is equivalent to a socket; a pinless CPU is the male and female interchange.
However, the new AM5 interface is not all used to copy Intel. The new Ryzen of the AM5 interface does not give any component at the bottom, and the capacitor is in the front position. This further reduces the risk of accidental drops for users.
The motherboard I chose is Gigabyte X670. The Gigabyte Aorus series is positioned as e-sports players and hardcore hardware players. It uses more materials and design can better meet the application needs of e-sports players and Internet cafes that often require long-term full load. Although I bought it called X670 Eagle, the materials and weight are quite exaggerated.
X670 and X670E chipsets both use LGA1718 CPU slot, which is AM5, which natively supports DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0, natively supports 170W power dissipation, is backward compatible with AM4 heatsink, and has a maximum of 24 PCIe 5.0 channels. With two chiplet designs, the total cost will still be lower than the older X570 chipset.
As for X670 and X670E, the difference is that X670E is PCI-E and M.2 both support 5.0 protocol, and X670 is one of the two supports 5.0. Considering that M.2, which supports PCI-E 5.0, has not been launched yet, for ordinary players, X670 is more cost-effective.
X670 AORUS ELITE AX motherboard uses a black PCB board, the overall style is low-key and luxurious, and the appearance is still excellent. The official introduction This time the motherboard adopts an 8-layer 2-ounce copper PCB design, which can effectively assist in heat dissipation, reduce the temperature of the motherboard, and effectively delay the service life of the motherboard.
With more and more transistors integrated with CPU, and process progress has slowed down. Therefore, for super-multi-core and multi-threaded processors, power supply and heating cannot be underestimated.
This time, the Gigabyte X670 Diao still continues the material pile characteristics of Diaopa in power supply. Even the power supply interface pins that ordinary people would not notice use solid pins. This design is not used now, but has been seen on previous generations of Core platform motherboards (I also have X470 motherboards, but the previous AMD platforms are not used much and will not publish them). The advantage of solid is that it can ensure the stability of current transmission, so that there will be no ripple fluctuations that lead to various unstable factors.
ZEN4's TDP has also been improved, so naturally the requirements for motherboard power supply have been higher. The AORUS X670 ELITE AX motherboard adopts a 20-phase power supply design: 16-phase Vcore core + 2-phase SOC core display + 2-phase MISC assist, even the flagship 7950x is stress-free.
In addition, the new ZEN4 platform directly cut off the support of DDR4. Fortunately, the DDR5 memory price in 2022 is no longer so exaggerated. I also chose a product with relatively balanced frequency, stability and price - Jinbaida DDR5 6000 Silver Gogh.
As the name suggests, Yinjue is the Jinbaida memory paired with silver heat sink. As early as last year, I used Jinbaida DDR4 3600 Yinjue. This compact design memory heatsink has almost no increase in the height and area of memory, making it more suitable for ITX or various small chassis installations, especially for players who like to play air-cooling, which reduces a lot of unnecessary trouble.
However, it is estimated that Jinbaida will have DDR5 light bars coming out soon. After all, there are still many players who like to play with lights.
It is worth mentioning that Gigabyte X670 Immortal has a very user-friendly design, which is that the M.2 SSD realizes tool-free screw-free installation, which is truly convenient for the people.

After introducing AMD's new platform, let's take a look at my Intel platform. Although it is not the latest 13th generation, it is also the 12th generation Core. It is also a small and small core architecture, and its performance is still high.
I still use the i9 12900k processor, which is matched with Gigabyte B660 snow sculpture.

3, Jinbaida KP260 performance on Intel and AMD dual platforms
1, AS SSD benchmark 2.0
Jinbaida KP260 1TB's AS SSD benchmark test scores are consistent on the two major platforms. In comparison, the disk performance of the Intel platform is slightly better, especially in terms of random 4k read and write performance and 4k 64 queue deep read and write performance. The results of the CrystalDISKMARK 8.0
CDM are not very different from the two platforms, but interestingly, the AMD platform's reading performance is a bit higher, and its writing performance is not as good as Intel, which is a bit unexpected. However, the progress of the AMD platform is indeed obvious to all. In terms of
3, Txbench
TXbench, overall, Intel's advantages are mainly to experience the obvious advantages of 4k random read and write performance in terms of 4k random read and write, whether it is 4k random read and write, 4k deep read and write, or Intel.
4, HDtune slow performance test
HDtune is a test software in the mechanical hard disk era, and running SSD is not suitable. However, the biggest thing about its software is that it can simulate large-capacity continuous writing, which is the issue of slowing down performance that everyone is more concerned about.
To be honest, performance decline outside cache is an inevitable problem. In the early SSDs with cache solutions, since the capacity of cache chips cannot keep up with the current TB-level SSD requirements, the cache-free solution is now mainstream.
Jinbaida KP260 uses a cache-free solution, which refers to a solid-state drive solution that eliminates the DRAM chip through firmware adaptation. No external DRAM cache does not mean that there is no cache at all. In fact, it also requires LUT tables, but the table structure is different, the capacity is small and stored in the small-capacity SRAM integrated in the master control. Since no additional DRAM chip is required, the cost of cached solid-state drives without external DRAM is lower, and it can also achieve better cost-effectiveness based on handling the relationship between performance and cost.
is limited by the memory capacity of only 32GB, so I can only simulate 200GB of writes, but the test results are still good. Although the performance of randomness has declined to a certain extent, the amplitude is not large, and the overall situation is closer to a straight line. In other words, the KP260 1TB's slow-off performance is still good, and there will be no significant decline in the case of "explosion" cache.
This is very useful for video creators who need to import a large amount of 4K video materials in one go.
4. Summary and personal opinions
It can be said that the threshold for SSD is no longer high now. For ordinary consumers, instead of pursuing some high-end products with good-looking scores, it is better to pursue larger capacity. After all, running scores is only one aspect of hardware performance.
Jinbaida KP260 is positioned as the mainstream installation market. Its running scores are among the mid-to-upstream levels in PCI-E 4.0 SSD, but the price is affordable. Moreover, with a large capacity of 1TB, it can be very safe for both notebooks and desktops. Personally test, the performance of using Intel, AMD, gaming laptops and other platforms is good, and it is a good choice for friends who plan to upgrade or install the machine.
