Acer FA300 vs Acer Predator GM7000: Comparison
FA300 vs Predator GM7000 sequential read compared
On sequential read the spread is 33%, FA300 11000 MB/s against Predator GM7000 7400 MB/s, so FA300 takes it. Measured rather than claimed: in Speed Score the FA300 returns 8.5 against 8.4, a 1% lead. FA300 also leads on sequential write, 10000 MB/s on the FA300 versus 6700 MB/s on the Predator GM7000. Add nand layers to that, 218 on the FA300 versus 96 on the Predator GM7000, and the pattern holds. Bus interface is not the same on both, PCIe 5.0 x4 on the FA300 versus PCIe 4.0 x4 on the Predator GM7000. Dram cache is not the same on both, DRAM-less on the FA300 versus DRAM on the Predator GM7000. They differ on controller too, SM2504XT on the FA300 versus IG5236 on the Predator GM7000. They differ on controller vendor too, Silicon Motion on the FA300 versus InnoGrit on the Predator GM7000. There is a split on nand vendor as well, Kioxia on the FA300 versus Micron on the Predator GM7000.
Where the two are identical
Where they agree, they agree completely, capacity, nand type, form factor and drive type included, so the decision does not turn on any of those.
