Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced sampling of new, higher performing JEDEC e-MMC Ver. 5.1-compliant embedded flash memory products for consumer applications. The new products integrate a newer version of the company's BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory and a controller in a single package, reducing processor workload and improving ease of use. Both 64 and 128 gigabytes (GB) products will be available.

As the market continues to shift to UFS, there are cases where e-MMC may still be used. This includes consumer products with mid-range storage requirements such as tablets, personal computers, point of sale devices and other portable handheld devices, as well as smart TVs and smart NICs. Kioxia continues to reinforce its market-leading position by delivering a broad, high-performance product lineup and expanding the available options for these applications.



The new Kioxia devices improve sequential and random write performance by approximately 2.5x and random read performance by approximately 2.7x over previous generation devices. Additionally, terabytes written (TBW) is improved by approximately 3.3x over previous generation devices, in correspondence with an enhanced area setting for whole e-MMC area.

Kioxia is now sampling its next-generation e-MMC devices, with mass production expected in spring of 2024.

I cant think of a memory type I hate more tbh. Probably because of the 32gb emmc ultra cheap laptops that were popular like a decade ago leaving unrecoverable scars on my psyche. emmc should have been 128gb from the get go.
 
Sounds like pretty big performance improvement claims. Faster cheap devices is always welcome.
