IT Home April 19 news, today Changjiang Storage Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yangtze River Storage") announced the launch of UFS 3.1 universal flash memory - UC023.
According to the official introduction, this is a high-speed flash memory chip carefully built by Changjiang Storage for the 5G era, which can be widely applied to high-end flagship smartphones, tablets, AR/VR and other intelligent terminal fields to meet the stringent requirements of storage capacity and read and write performance in AIoT, machine learning, high-speed communication, 8K video, high-frame rate games and other applications. The listing of UC023 marks that the Yangtze River Storage Embedded Product Line has officially covered the high-end market, and will provide a richer and more flexible choice of memory chips for high-end flagship models such as mobile phones and tabletS.
According to the JEDEC 2020 standard, after the addition of write booster, deep sleep (Deep Sleep), performance Throttling Notification and other technologies, UFS 3.1 theoretical bandwidth can reach 2.9GB / s*, the performance has been greatly improved compared with eMMC 5.1 and UFS 2.2. UFS 3.1, as the preferred storage solution for today's flagship smartphones and tablets, can greatly shorten the waiting time for application loading, improve work efficiency, and bring consumers a high-quality experience with cutting-edge technologies such as 8K video and AR/VR.
According to Yangtze River Storage, in order to enable consumers to get a smoother experience when enjoying high frame rate games and watching 8K HD videos, Yangtze River Storage UFS 3.1 flash memory UC023 uses the newly upgraded crystal stack 2.0 (Xtacking 2.0) technology TLC 3D flash memory particles, and the design and process have been further improved and optimized. As the flagship UFS 3.1 Flash, the UC023 also features the following features:
Decode a number of new technologies to fully release the advantages of UFS 3.1: equipped with host defragmentation technology (HID), optimize data processing operations, save more storage space, and introduce a random write performance optimization mechanism to increase the write speed to 230K IOPS, enabling multiple applications to switch freely.
Excellent performance-to-power ratio for enhanced user mobile experience: Maximize read and write performance while still guaranteeing ultra-low-power operation. Watching 8K HD video online doesn't stutter, and device standby time increases significantly.
Tailor-made for customers, providing a variety of mainstream capacity: UC023 provides customized product development services and timely, professional and efficient technical support; 128, 256 and 512GB three storage capacities to meet the mainstream market demand.
UC023 is now validated across platforms for compatibility and wide range of applications. The official release of the UC023 marks that the Yangtze River Storage Embedded Solution can meet more stringent test standards and adapt to more complex use environments.
