Kioxia and Sandisk sample world's densest 3D NAND with 332 layers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Kioxia and Sandisk have begun sampling their new 332-layer 3D NAND flash memory, which boasts the industry's highest areal density at over 29 Gb/mm2. This 10th Generation BiCS NAND, specifically targeting data center applications, offers significant performance and efficiency improvements, including a 10% reduction in read latency and a 25% decrease in read energy consumption. The company plans to produce this advanced memory at its new Fab 2 facility, while older generations will continue at the Yokkaichi complex. AI

IMPACT This advancement in storage density and performance could accelerate the development and deployment of AI models requiring large datasets and high-speed access.

RANK_REASON New product release from major memory manufacturers.
