Seoul, May 22, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

SK hynix Inc. (or \u201cthe company\u201d, www.skhynix.com<\/a>) announced today that it has developed UFS 4.1 solution product adopting the world\u2019s highest 321-layer 1Tb triple level cell 4D NAND flash for mobile applications.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The development comes amid increasing requirements for high performance and low power of a NAND solution product to ensure a stable operation of on-device AI. The company expects the UFS 4.1 product, optimized for AI workload, to help enhance its memory leadership in the flagship smartphone markets.<\/p>\n

With an increase in demand for on-device AI leading to greater importance of the balance between computation capabilities and battery efficiency of a device, the mobile market is now requiring thinness and low power from a mobile device.<\/p>\n

The latest product comes with a 7% improvement in power efficiency, compared with the previous generation based on 238-high NAND and a slimmer 0.85mm thickness, down from 1mm before, to fit into a ultra-slim smartphones.<\/p>\n

The product also supports data transfer speed of 4300MB\/s, the fastest sequential read*<\/span> for a fourth-generation of UFS, while providing the best-in-class performance by also improving random read and write speed*<\/span>, critical for multitasking, by 15% and 40%, respectively.\u00a0 Immediate provision of the required data for on-device AI and faster running speed and the responsivity of an application are expected to enhance user experience.<\/p>\n

*<\/span> Sequential Read\/Write: speed to read and write data of a file sequentially
\n*<\/span> Random Read\/Write: speed to read and write data of dispersed files<\/p>\n

SK hynix plans to win customer qualification within the year and ship in volume from the first quarter of next year. The product will be provided in two capacity types \u2013 512 GB and 1TB.<\/p>\n

Ahn Hyun, President and Chief Development Officer, said that SK hynix plans to complete development of the 321-high 4D NAND-based SSD for both consumers and data centers within the year. \u201cWe are on track to expand our position as a full-stack AI memory provider in the NAND space by building a product portfolio with AI technological edge.\u201d<\/p>\n
