Samsung Electronics unveiled its latest universal flash storage (UFS) 5.0 solution on Tuesday, targeting surging demand for faster and more power-efficient storage as artificial intelligence (AI) workloads increasingly shift from the cloud to on-device processing.
The development comes as generative AI increasingly shifts from cloud-based computing to on-device processing, driving a surge in the volume of data that must be processed locally. As a result, data storage is evolving beyond its traditional role of storing information into critical infrastructure supporting AI workloads.
The company said its UFS 5.0 sets a new benchmark for mobile memory, with improved performance expected to cut latency and speed up response times for large language models running on-device.
“In the era of on-device AI, storage devices are evolving into a key driver defining AI experiences,” said Choi Jang-seok, Samsung Electronics’ head of memory product planning.
