Samsung Electronics announced on June 23 that it has developed the industry’s highest-performing next-generation UFS (Universal Flash Storage) 5.0 memory solution optimized for the era of on-device AI (Artificial Intelligence) for the first time in the industry.
UFS is a high-performance storage standard used in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, and its strengths are fast data transmission speeds and high power efficiency. On-device AI refers to running AI models on the device itself without a network connection.
This product applied the ‘UFS 5.0’ interface, the latest embedded memory standard of the semiconductor standardization organization JEDEC. Also, it was developed based on Samsung Electronics’ advanced 9th-generation V-NAND (V9), simultaneously realizing the industry’s highest level of data transmission bandwidth of 10.8GB/s and power efficiency.
