Proposed solution to solve customers pain point
Seoul, South Korea, December 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — SK hynix Inc. (or the “Company”, www.skhynix.com) announced today that it will showcase a number of its flagship and brand new products at CES 2023, the world’s most influential technology event taking place in Las Vegas from January 5th through January 8th.
The products, presented under the theme of “Green Digital Solution” as part of SK Group’s “Carbon Free Future” campaign, are expected to attract customers and Big Tech experts given the significant improvement in performance and energy efficiency in compared to the previous generation as well as the effect of reducing the impact on the environment.
Attention to energy-efficient memory chips has been growing as global technology companies pursue products that process data faster while consuming less power. SK hynix is ​​confident that its products will appear in CES 2023 will meet such customer needs with outstanding wattage* and performance.
*Pperformance per watt: an indication of how much computation is performed per watt of power consumed.
The main product presented at the show is the PS1010 E3.S, a multi-layer eSSD product 176 4D NAND which supports the fifth generation of the PCIe* interface.
*PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express): a high-speed serial input/output interface used on the main board of digital devices. PCIe data transfer speed doubles in line with a generation change.
SK hynix said the introduction of the PS1010, a combination of the company’s industry-leading technologies, is timely as the server chip market continues to grow despite the current industry downturn.
The PS1010 product shows an improvement in both reading and writing speeds of 130% and 49%, respectively, compared to the previous generation. Its performance per watt has also improved by more than 75%, helping customers reduce server operating costs and carbon emissions.
“We are proud to launch PS1010, an extremely high-performance product with self-developed controller and firmware, at CES 2023, the world’s largest technology exhibition.” Yun Jae Yeon, said Chief of NAND Product Planning. “This product will solve the pain point of our server chip customers, paving the way for stronger competition in the NAND business for us.”
Other products to be introduced at the exhibition are HBM3*, a memory product with the world’s best specifications for high-performance computing, GDDR6-AiM that adopts PIM* technology, and CXL* memory capable of flexible capacity expansion and memory performance.
*HBM (High Bandwidth Memory): High-value, high-performance memory that vertically interconnects multiple DRAM chips and dramatically increases data processing speed compared to traditional DRAM products.
*PIM (Prmemory output): A next-generation technology that provides a solution to data overload issues for AI and big data by adding computational functions to semiconductor memory
*CXL (Compute Express Link): A next-generation PCIe-based interconnect protocol on which high-performance computing systems are based
SK hynix will also introduce SK enmove’s immersion cooling* technology, which specializes in energy efficiency. The technology, designed to help cool the heat generated by servers during operation, marks a successful case where SK hynix collaborated with other SK companies or external business partners to create new value in the semiconductor business.
*Immersion Cooling: A next-generation thermal management technology that cools the temperature by immersing data servers in cooling oil. In this way, the total electricity consumption can be reduced by 30% compared to the existing technology that uses air to reduce the temperature.
