Commercial PCIe 6.0 devices are still expected to become available before 2024.

That time has come and gone my friend. Did you mean before the end of 2024?

Pretty sure the PS5 is pcie 4.0?

Really? Nobody commented about it should say updated kernel not updated OS. I’m stunned.

Intel name is a little hot. They really want toast the user.

I still do not see the point of this. This seems like a roundabout solution for what should be an easy problem to solve. Why can't the device itself measure it's temperature and tell the CPU to slow down? Thermal management should be handled by the device itself not some PCIe driver.
