Kioxia Holdings Co., Ltd. has delivered next-generation flash memory chip samples to major AI data center operators with the intention of overtaking competitors in this lucrative market. The new high-density 3D flash memory chip launched by the Tokyo-based chip manufacturer is specially designed to meet the needs of AI data centers, and can achieve higher storage density, faster data transmission speed, and better energy efficiency. Kioxia announced on Friday that this new storage product will be equipped with a solid-state drive in its data center, and a new production line at the Kitakami factory in Iwate Prefecture in northern Japan will be responsible for production. The chip uses a 332 layer stacking design, and a single silicon chip can carry a larger data capacity. The new plant will help Kioxia increase production capacity and meet the explosive data storage needs of AI service providers. The factory will simultaneously mass-produce 9th generation low-cost flash memory chips with outstanding cost performance and 10th generation new products. Kioxia's main competitors in the data center and mobile flash memory markets include South Korea's Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology in Boise, Idaho, USA.
