A Samsung announced in 2022 the launch of its new UFS 4.0 storage, which promises to be faster and more efficient than the previous standard. UFS 4.0 uses Samsung’s 7th generation V-NAND flash memory and a proprietary controller, enabling sequential read speeds of up to 4,200 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 2,800 MB/s.
According to information, the South Korean giant is working on a special version of this technology developed especially to meet the high demand of smartphones for artificial intelligence (AI) resources. Using this tool on mobile devices consumes a lot of processing power from the CPU, RAM and ROM, so specific improvements are expected soon.
According to experts, it is possible that in the future cell phones will have at least 20 GB of RAM, a capacity that will be used for the operating system and AI functions. There is also information that points to the possibility of smart tools consuming around 15% of available storage, thus requiring greater capacities.
Omdia senior researcher Yeon Seung-hoon commented on the case saying that “next year, with the integration of AI capabilities into smartphones, there will be growth opportunities for storage. To boost AI operations, including learning and Inference, more than 15% of the smartphone’s total storage should be used.”
Focusing on this segment that demands higher speeds, Samsung’s hardware division is expected to present a special version of UFS 4.0 aimed at AI. The component can equip flagship devices that are known to have integration with artificial intelligence functions in the native software, something that has been growing in recent years.
The Korean manufacturer may employ some compression or scheduling algorithms that allow AI programs to use less storage on its UFS 4.0 flash. Speculations do not mention possible read and write speeds. Samsung has not confirmed the development of this special version.
