AMD Ryzen 5700GE + NVME - what boot time is normal?

My arch installation is near 10 years old. But it is updated, cleaned and mantained by me regulary.

I have installed new WD SN770 NVME this week and pc boot time is:

# systemd-analyze 
Startup finished in 10.638s (firmware) + 332ms (loader) + 6.856s (kernel) + 5.807s (userspace) = 23.634s 
graphical.target reached after 5.771s in userspace.

The time when unit became active or started is printed after the "@" character.
The time the unit took to start is printed after the "+" character.

graphical.target @5.771s

  └─systemd-user-sessions.service @5.625s +71ms
    └─nss-user-lookup.target @5.708s

Is this normal? Or it can be faster?

Re: AMD Ryzen 5700GE + NVME - what boot time is normal?

I have nvme ssd drives also and boot times are not dissimilar to yours.  On two different machines both ryzen, with one 5700 I have:

$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 4.974s (firmware) + 2.407s (loader) + 1.884s (kernel) + 1.316s (initrd) + 11.465s (userspace) = 22.047s 
graphical.target reached after 11.465s in userspace.

and

$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 4.428s (firmware) + 4.240s (loader) + 2.608s (kernel) + 3.592s (initrd) + 7.455s (userspace) = 22.325s 
graphical.target reached after 7.454s in userspace.

Re: AMD Ryzen 5700GE + NVME - what boot time is normal?

I have on my old Pentium Dual Core E2140 with ssd working like sata2:

$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 4.545s (kernel) + 3.575s (userspace) = 8.120s 
graphical.target reached after 3.353s in userspace.

but I cheating a bit...
