Kioxia delivers next-generation flash memory chip samples to AI data centers.

Shenchao TechFlow news: On July 03, according to reports from overseas media, Kioxia has begun delivering samples of its new-generation flash memory chips to AI data center operators, aiming to compete with rivals for market share in this high-profit business sector. The Tokyo-headquartered chipmaker’s latest high-storage-density 3D flash memory chips are designed to better meet AI data centers’ needs for higher storage density, faster data transfer speeds, and improved energy efficiency. The company said in a statement on Friday that its latest products will be used in its data-center-focused solid-state drives and will be manufactured at a new facility at its Kitakami plant in Iwate Prefecture in northern Japan.

The chip features a 332-layer stacked structure, enabling more data to be stored on a silicon wafer. The new factory facilities will help Kioxia increase production capacity to meet the rapidly growing demand for data storage from AI service providers. The company also said it will expand production of its low-cost ninth-generation scalable bit-cost chips and its tenth-generation products. (Jinshi)
