For gaming, for example, simply moving to basically any NVMe from a SATA SSD turns into massively diminishing returns, any speed differences between NVMe drives become essentially pointless when it comes to most games. Most game load time benchmarks show no difference between PCIE 3 drives and PCIE 4 drives, and of the ones that do it's usually less than a second: https://www.techpowerup
While in theory a PCIE 4 drive might make a better scratch disk for Photoshop or something similar, that's more write performance bound which doesn't exceed the PCIE 3 bus speed anyway in pretty much all cases. Etc.
Basically, this drive is better but whether you'll really need it is entirely up to your use case. Also keep in mind this is PCIe gen 4, so you'll need a motherboard that supports this speed,, many current ones are gen 3 which is still fast.

It's confusing on newegg, because most people are talking about the (admittedly amazing) TLC version, but newegg mixes them in the same product page.

Nicely, they included a CrystalDiskMark chart! It mostly simply falls in line with what could be expected from the specs. What's interesting is that the 4k random writes RND 4K Q32T16 holds up in speed, compared to the TLC version.
It would be interesting to see how sequential writes do when the cache is exhausted.

Not sure I understand making a budget drive x4 and charging more than a higher level x3 drive. Not sure the extra requirements right now for the x4 are worth it on a budget drive that most likely wont use the extra bandwidth.
