More like a last minute typo. You aren't getting 4.8 GB/s on a PCIe 3 x4 link. However the marketing wonks have been creating copy with PCIe 3.0 on everything for years now.
If that is NAND chips from different manufactures are different enough it would be cool to see a NVMe drive use chips from more than one supplier. To unitized the benefit from different NAND chips. I assume this won't work because I assume for the controller to work it needs all the memory chips to be the same. Even if that was the case a custom driver could make it work which might be just be viable for some company down the road. "The Phison E16 controller is built to use either Toshiba NAND flash, Micron NAND flash, or SK Hynix NAND flash."

I love the "Gen 4" awkwardly stuck on top of what is presumably a display for a PCIe Gen 3 device. Top notch display guys, lol.TheUnhandledException - Wednesday, June 5, 2019 - link
