In the post-5G information and communication era, AI is estimated to generate an unprecedented volume of data. This surge will likely escalate the data processing demands of data centers and increase power consumption. To address this, it is crucial that the next-generation memories facilitate rapid data transfer with high-performance processors while increasing capacity and reducing power consumption.
As part of this groundbreaking project, Kioxia will focus on the research and development of memory for the recently introduced Compute Express Link™ (CXL™) interface standard. The objective is to develop memory that offers lower power consumption and higher bit density than DRAM, and faster read speed than flash memory. This will not only enhance memory utilization efficiency but also contribute to energy conservation.
Building on the success of our cutting-edge three-dimensional (3D) flash memory technology, BiCS FLASH™, Kioxia remains committed to advancing research and development emerging memories. The company strives to satisfy the growing demand for larger capacity, superior performance, and increased value of semiconductor memory in the computing and storage systems of tomorrow.
