Integrating Samsung’s 5nm controller and eighth-generation V-NAND, PM9E1 gives unmatched efficiency and energy effectivity appropriate for AI PCs
Sequential learn and write speeds improved greater than two occasions in comparison with earlier technology, reaching as much as 14.5GB/s and 13GB/s, respectively
Samsung Electronics, the world chief in superior reminiscence know-how, at present introduced it has begun mass producing PM9E1, a PCle 5.Zero SSD with the business’s highest efficiency and largest capability. Built on its in-house 5-nanometer (nm)-based controller and eighth-generation V-NAND (V8) know-how, the PM9E1 will present highly effective efficiency and enhanced energy effectivity, making it an optimum resolution for on-device AI PCs. Key attributes in SSDs, together with efficiency, storage capability, energy effectivity and safety, have all been improved in comparison with its predecessor (PM9A1a).
“Our PM9E1 integrated with a 5nm controller delivers industry-leading power efficiency and utmost performance validated by our key partners,” mentioned YongCheol Bae, Executive Vice President of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics. “In the rapidly growing on-device AI era, Samsung’s PM9E1 will offer a robust foundation for global customers to effectively plan their AI portfolios.”
Thanks to the eight-channel PCIe 5.Zero interface, the sequential learn and write speeds of the brand new SSD have greater than doubled in comparison with the earlier technology, reaching as much as 14.5 gigabytes-per-second (GB/s) and 13GB/s, respectively. This highly effective efficiency permits sooner knowledge switch even with data-intensive AI functions, permitting a 14GB giant language mannequin (LLM) to be transferred from the SSD to DRAM in lower than a second.
The PM9E1 provides a spread of storage choices, together with 512GB, 1 terabyte (TB), 2TB and the business’s largest capability of 4TB. The 4TB possibility is particularly an optimum resolution for PC customers in want of high-capacity storage for large-sized recordsdata corresponding to AI-generated contents, data-heavy packages and high-resolution movies, in addition to duties that require intensive workloads corresponding to gaming.
Additionally, the considerably improved energy effectivity of over 50% permits for longer battery life which is good for on-device AI functions.
For stronger safety measures, Samsung has utilized Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) v1.2 to the PM9E1. The SPDM specification gives ‘Secure Channel,’ ‘Device Authentication’ and ‘Firmware Tampering Attestation’ applied sciences that may assist stop provide chain assaults involving forgery or manipulation of saved knowledge within the product throughout manufacturing or distribution processes.
Starting with PM9E1, Samsung plans to increase its superior SSD choices to international PC makers and expects to launch PCIe 5.0-based shopper merchandise sooner or later to solidify its management within the on-device AI market.
