SK Hynix PCB01 SSD for AI PCs

SK Hynix Inc. launched PCB01, an SSD with industry-leading characteristics for on-device AI PCs, today

A system that integrates  AI operations directly into the device, bypassing the need for a physically remote server to do computation

Smartphones' immediate information collection and processing capabilities allow AI systems to respond quickly and provide personalised AI services

PC vendors provide a framework that quickly transports data from internal PC storage to DRAMs for AI operations, storing an LLM for on-device AIs

SK Hynix expects their next SSD's features to greatly improve on-device AIs

PCB01 provides a 30% boost in power efficiency over its predecessor, enabling it to efficiently manage power from complex  AI calculation

SK Hynix's single-level cell (SLC) caching technology lets select NAND cells in the storage regions act as SLCs with fast processing rates

A channel connects an SSD controller to a NAND flash for data input/output. Each PCIe iteration adds channels and speeds data processing
