PCI-5 is not a new thing, these drives are. The real question isn't, does Apple have access to PCIe 5.0 SSDs, the question is, does the architecture for the M1/M1 Pro /M1 Max support PCIe-5.0? If not, it's irreverent. My guess is no, we won't be seeing PCI-5 on the Mac's until second or maybe generation silicon ships.
