The 微米 3500 固态硬盘: A game-changer for pro gamers and professionals

普拉萨德Alluri | December 2023

个人电脑(PC)已经转变为一个多方面的工具, serving a wide array of users. Among these users, 业务 professionals and gamers stand out. Despite their distinct needs, 它们之间有一个共同的主线——追求卓越的用户体验. This shared pursuit shapes PC and workstation designs in unique ways.

固态硬盘(ssd)已成为通过提高功率效率来增强客户端设备用户体验的关键组件, speed and reliability. There are primarily two categories of client 固态硬盘s to choose from:

  1. 有价值的客户端ssd:这些ssd在功能、性能和可负担性之间取得了平衡. 它们通常采用“无DRAM”架构,将一些存储操作卸载到PC主机内存缓冲区,以降低板载DRAM成本.1 They are ideal for everyday computing applications, providing an optimal blend of user experience and affordability.
  2. 性能客户机ssd:这些ssd提供卓越的用户体验,性能优于价值客户机ssd. 通常设计带有板载DRAM缓存,以帮助实现更高的性能和响应能力, 它们在需要高性能的专业pc和游戏pc中越来越受欢迎.

Professional and scientific computing user experience

In the professional and scientific worlds, PCs are vital tools. 它们支持数据分析、项目管理、沙巴体育结算平台开发工具等. The user experience for professional, 业务, and scientific applications is centered around data transfer rates, reliability and security.

专业和科学计算用户经常同时处理多个任务, necessitating PCs with robust processors, 足够的内存, and performance-level client 固态硬盘s for the most demanding applications. These specifications ensure an optimal user experience.

Gaming user experience

游戏产业的迅速崛起刺激了PC技术的进步. 对于玩家来说,用户体验取决于响应性和性能. 游戏是资源密集型应用程序,需要高性能硬件来快速加载庞大的图形集. 游戏pc通常以强大的显卡和高速处理器为荣.

性能ssd通过减少游戏加载时间和场景之间的转换时间来提升用户体验.

Direct存储 for 游戏

通常, as shown in Figure 1 below, 固态硬盘盘将压缩后的数据先发送给CPU进行解压,再发送给GPU进行渲染. However, that decompression takes time and CPU cycles. Microsoft Direct存储通过将所有数据直接传输到RAM,然后再传输到GPU,从而避免了这个问题. This streamlines the entire process of data transfer, decompression and rendering in the GPU, bypassing the CPU.

使用Direct存储的结果是更快的数据传输,最大限度地发挥高性能固态硬盘的优势. 今天,只有两款PC游戏利用了Direct存储——Luminous Productions的Forespoken™和Blizzard Entertainment的Diablo IV™. 由于驱动程序针对Direct存储进行了优化,预计将来会有更多的PC游戏支持它.
