Samsung unveils industry’s 1st UFS 5.0 memory optimized for on-device AI

Samsung Electronics unveiled its latest universal flash storage (UFS) 5.0 solution on Tuesday, targeting surging demand for faster and more power-efficient storage as artificial intelligence (AI) workloads increasingly shift from the cloud to on-device processing. The development comes as generative AI increasingly shifts from cloud-based computing to on-device processing, driving a surge in the volume of data that must be processed locally. As a result, data storage is evolving beyond its traditional role of storing information into critical infrastructure supporting AI workloads. The company said its UFS 5.0 sets a new benchmark for mobile memory, with improved performance expected to cut latency and speed up response times for large language models running on-device. “In the era of on-device AI, storage devices are evolving into a key driver defining AI experiences,” said Choi Jang-seok, Samsung Electronics’ head of memory product planning. “As we successfully move beyond the development stage of the industry’s first UFS 5.0 solution, Samsung is setting a new standard for stWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
