Compared with the previous 8<sup>th<\/sup>-generation 2Tb QLC, the new technology delivers higher write and read bandwidth due to a 6-plane architecture and performance enhancements and better write and read power efficiency. And it also delivers a NAND interface speed of 4.8Gb\/s <sup>2<\/sup>, a 33% improvement over 8th-generation devices.<\/p>\n<p>\nChief Technology Officer at Kioxia, Hideshi Miyajima, said, &#8220;As AI continues to underpin the advancement of society, its applications are expanding from generative AI to agent-based and physical AI, while the use of data is becoming increasingly diverse and sophisticated. By leveraging its proven memory cell technology together with the latest CMOS technology, Kioxia is accelerating the development of its 9th-generation flash memory. This approach enables us to deliver high performance while keeping investment costs relatively low.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;The rapid adoption of AI is accelerating the transition of storage interfaces, creating demand for memory technologies that can evolve more quickly than in previous technology cycles,&#8221; said Alper Ilkbahar, Chief Technology Officer at Sandisk. &#8220;Our 9th-generation QLC technology demonstrates the unique flexibility of CBA, to accelerate innovation by independently advancing CMOS and memory technologies. We are bringing new capabilities to market more quickly with exceptional capital efficiency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe introduction of the 9th-generation QLC 3D flash memory technology marks an important milestone in the evolution of the 3D flash memory roadmap and highlights the continued strength of the collaboration between Kioxia and Sandisk. By maximizing the flexibility of their CBA platform, the companies are creating new opportunities for NAND innovation and helping customers address the growing storage demands of the AI era.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"bwlistdecimal\">\n<li>\nTechnology wherein each CMOS wafer and cell array wafer are manufactured separately in their optimized condition and then bonded together.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n1Gb\/s is calculated as 1,000,000,000 bits\/second.
