And watch out with the 980 Pro, Samsung has just changed the components.

Samsung have removed the Elpis controller from the 980 PRO and replaced it with an unknown one, and also removed any speed reference from the spec sheet.

Take a look here for what's changed on the 980 PRO: https://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=news&action=file&id=4489...

It's OK for them to do this, but then they should give the new product a new name, not re-use the old name so that buying it becomes a "silicon lottery" as far as performance goes.

Link seems to be broken, shows a picture of the note 10 for me. I guess you wanted to link this one [1].

I knew about the changed controller in the 970 Evo Plus, but I wasn't aware they also changed the 980 Pro. That's disappointing. Is there anyone left that isn't doing those shenanigans?

Is there a way for me as a customer to tell which controller my particular 980 Pro has? Can it be distinguished in software?

Thanks for fixing that link.
