KIOXIA America, Inc. announced sampling1 of new, higher performing2 JEDEC e-MMC3 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 The new products integrate a newer version of the company’s BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory and a controller in a single package, reducing processor workload and improving ease of use. Both 64 and 128 gigabytes (GB) products will be available.
As the market continues to shift to UFS4, there are cases where e-MMC may still be used. This includes consumer products with mid-range storage requirements such as tablets, personal computers, point of sale devices and other portable handheld devices, as well as Smart TVs and Smart NICs (Network Interface Card). KIOXIA continues to reinforce its market-leading position by delivering a broad, high-performance product lineup and expanding the available options for these applications.
