Large language models, multimodal AI, advanced imaging and real-time inference require significantly faster movement of data between storage and compute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until now, UFS read performance has been a limiting factor for increasingly sophisticated on-device AI, constraining how quickly large language models and other AI workloads can access data. KIOXIA UFS 5.0 helps remove these bottlenecks, enabling faster application loading, greater responsiveness and an outstanding user experience across on-device AI applications when compared to UFS 4.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KIOXIA UFS 5.0 solutions combine an in-house developed UFS 5.0 controller with KIOXIA BiCS FLASH generation 8 3D flash memory, to deliver significant improvements in performance, power efficiency and packaging compared to the previous generation of KIOXIA product<sup>(2)<\/sup>, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sequential read performance of up to 10 GB\/s<sup>(3)<\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sequential write performance of up to 9.0 GB\/s<sup>(4)<\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced power efficiency compared to the previous generation<sup>(2)<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced thermal management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compact 7.5 \u00d7 13 mm BGA package, smaller than the previous-generation product<sup>(2)<\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Available in 1 TB and 512 GB capacities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While optimised for premium smartphones featuring on-device AI, KIOXIA UFS 5.0 is also well-suited for AI-enabled tablets, gaming systems, AR\/VR devices, robotics, smart security cameras and industrial edge applications that require fast local storage for data-intensive AI workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;On-device AI redefines what users expect from future mobile and edge devices; manufacturers need storage solutions that keep pace with these increasing AI workloads&#8221;, said Axel St\u00f6rmann, VP &amp; CTO, KIOXIA Europe GmbH.\u00a0&#8220;As AI workloads require fast, efficient access to data, KIOXIA UFS 5.0 delivers the speed, efficiency and capacity necessary to build these next-generation intelligent devices.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KIOXIA continues to advance its UFS portfolio with flash memory innovations designed to meet the growing demand for higher capacity, greater performance and improved efficiency in AI-enabled mobile and edge applications and will demonstrate its UFS 5.0 embedded flash memory solutions at FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KIOXIA Europe GmbH&#8216;s UFS(1)5.0 embedded flash memory solutions is designed to deliver the performance, efficiency and capacity required for the next generation of AI-enabled mobile and edge devices.
