Kioxia Unveils CM10 Series SSDs For AI Workloads
KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation has announced the KIOXIA CM10 Series of solid-state drives (SSDs), featuring its latest BiCS FLASH generation 10 TLC flash memory for enterprise and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads.
According to Kioxia in a statement, the new drives support the NVIDIA CMX architecture while delivering significant improvements in performance, power efficiency and cooling flexibility over the previous generation.
The drives are currently being sampled by selected customers and will be showcased at FMS: The Future of Memory and Storage in Santa Clara from Aug 4 to 6.
The KIOXIA CM10 Series is the company's first PCIe 6.0 enterprise SSD and offers direct cold-plate liquid cooling capability, enabling more efficient cooling for next-generation AI infrastructure.
The series delivers up to approximately 92 per cent higher sequential read performance and up to around 85 per cent higher random read performance, helping to accelerate data-intensive AI inference and enterprise applications while improving overall system efficiency.
As AI models continue to scale toward trillions of parameters and context windows expand to millions of tokens, the demand for high-performance context cache storage is growing rapidly.
Kioxia said the KIOXIA CM10 Series is designed to meet these evolving requirements with the performance, capacity and endurance needed for large-scale AI deployments.
