I am a hardware engineer in the data storage industry and just bought a 990 evo plus from samsung.

I looked at the spec sheet and noticed something really weird. The PC setup they use for perf benchmarks and power benchmarks is really different.

I also noticed that this SSD is HMB and they seemed to downclock their ddr5 ram to 3200 MHz which I've never seen before.

So are they purposely gimping out their system so the power values are lower than they should be? Can you even buy 3200 'MHz' DDR5 ram? To me it comes across as them manipulating the specs so they get the highest possible performance and using 'almost' the same system to get lower power usage.
