Kioxia and Sandisk unveil 4.8Gb/s AI-ready 3D flash memory

Kioxia, in partnership with Sandisk, has introduced a super-cool 3D flash memory solution that boosts NAND interface speeds to an insane 4.8 gigabits per second! This has the potential to transform AI-powered tasks and data centers. This advancement integrates state-of-the-art features like Toggle DDR6.0 for NAND flash, alongside the SCA protocol (short for Separate Command Address) which streamlines command handling. Additionally, the PI-LTT system, or Power Isolated Low-Tapped Termination, slashes energy use. Together, these upgrades deliver a 33 percent jump in NAND interface speed over their prior 8th-generation 3D flash memory. Power savings are notable too, with input consumption trimmed… [Continue Reading]
