Summary
Samsung said its new UFS 5.0 reaches 10.8 GB/s read and 9.5 GB/s write speeds, more than doubling UFS 4.1 performance for mobile AI workloads.
The gain targets on-device large language models as generative AI shifts from cloud to phones, cutting latency and speeding local data processing.
Power efficiency improved by more than 40% through clock gating and multi-voltage technology, while the package shrank 16.7% to 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm.
Mass production starts in the fourth quarter with capacities up to 1TB, positioning the storage for flagship smartphones, XR headsets and AI wearables.
