In the past few years, the "performance iron triangle" will not be unfamiliar to many friends, and the combination of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series platform + LPDDR5 memory + UFS 3.1 flash memory has also become the standard of Android flagship models. However, perhaps in the near future, the "Performance Iron Triangle" will usher in a round of updates, and Samsung recently announced the new UFS 4.0 storage solution, which has been approved by JEDEC (Solid State Technology Association).
According to the information released by Samsung, the new UFS 4.0 solution is based on the latest JEDEC standard specifications and enhances the diversification of products, providing a maximum capacity of 1TB. In addition, UFS 4.0 can provide up to 23.2Gbps transmission speed per channel, which is twice that of the current UFS 3.1, which will be based on Samsung's seventh-generation V-NAND flash memory and self-developed master control, with continuous read speeds of up to 4200MB/s and continuous write speeds of up to 2800MB/s.
The most advanced in the industry at present is Samsung's 512GB UFS 3.1 flash memory launched in the spring of 2020, with a nominal continuous read speed of up to 2100MB/s and a write speed of 1200MB/s, which is the actual speed increase of 1.3 times. The new UFS 4.0 will not only be faster to read and write, but will also have an energy efficiency ratio of 146% of UFS 3.1, which means that at the same power consumption level, UFS 4.0 will theoretically transmit nearly half more data than UFS 3.1 chips.
It should be known that when the UFS 3.1 specification was released, the features were also "faster, stronger, and more power-saving", but the changes brought about by the actual experience were not so obvious, but UFS 4.0 in addition to being more power-saving and faster transmission speed, the biggest change was the improvement of data throughput. This means that devices using UFS 4.0 flash memory are expected to deliver better read and write speeds in a range of data-intensive areas such as 5G, VR, AR, and smart cars.
