KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, announced the sampling of new, higher performing JEDEC e-MMC Ver. 5.1-compliant embedded flash memory products for consumer applications.

The new products integrate a newer version of the company’s BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory and a controller in a single package, reducing processor workload and improving ease of use.

In a statement, Kioxia said both 64 and 128 gigabytes (GB) products will be available.

As the market continues to shift to Universal Flash Storage (UFS), there are cases where embedded Multi Media Card (e-MMC) may still be used. This includes consumer products with mid-range storage requirements such as tablets, personal computers and point of sale devices.

Kioxia continues to reinforce its market-leading position by delivering a broad, high-performance product lineup and expanding the available options for these applications.

The new Kioxia devices improve sequential and random write performance and random read performance over previous generation devices, with terabytes written (TBW) is also improved in correspondence with an enhanced area setting for the whole e-MMC area.

Kioxia is now sampling its next-generation e-MMC devices, with mass production expected in spring of 2024. It is committed to uplifting the world with “memory” by offering products, services and systems that create choice for customers and memory-based value for society.
