New Silicon Motion SM2524XT chip brings 14 GB/s to mainstream SSDs — 6nm DRAMless controller boasts heavy AI PC optimization and slashes KV cache latency
Silicon Motion has introduced the SM2524XT chip, a 6nm DRAMless controller designed for mainstream SSDs. This new controller can achieve read speeds of up to 14 GB/s by utilizing four NAND channels and advanced technologies. It aims to enhance performance for AI workloads by reducing latency and improving random I/O operations.
- ▪The SM2524XT controller supports transfer rates of up to 4,800 MT/s and complies with the NVM 2.0 specification.
- ▪It can deliver up to 2.5 million random IOPS alongside sequential read speeds reaching 14 GB/s.
- ▪The controller integrates technologies to lower latency and increase effective bandwidth, making it suitable for both PCs and edge AI devices.
