Silicon Motion Introduces SM2524XT PCIe Gen 5 DRAMless SSD Controller
Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO), a global leader in NAND flash controllers for solid-state storage devices, today announced the SM2524XT, a next-generation PCIe Gen 5 DRAMless SSD controller purpose-built for AI inference and KV Cache-intensive workloads. The SM2524XT leverages a new four-processor-core architecture with PCIe Gen 5 x4 and NAND interface speeds up to 4,800 MT/s to achieve sequential read speeds up to 14 GB/s and industry-leading random performance of up to 2.5 million IOPS.
Built on TSMC's advanced 6 nm process technology, the SM2524XT delivers up to 25 percent higher performance per watt compared to the previous generation controller, sustaining peak random I/O throughput even under the most demanding thermal and power constrained conditions. Against the previous generation controller, the SM2524XT improves random performance by up to 25 percent, slashing latency and accelerating response times for the highly fragmented data access patterns that define KV Cache and AI inference workloads.
