  1. ScaleFlux bets smarter SSD controllers can break the AI memory bottleneck

    ScaleFlux VP of products and marketing Pichai Balaji told theCUBE at the AI Data Pipeline Forum that a GPU runs at roughly 20–22 terabytes per second while DRAM is about 37–40 times slower and storage roughly 800 times slower, so GPUs increasingly sit idle waiting on data as the bottleneck moves from compute to memory and storage. ScaleFlux sells SSD controllers and Compute Express Link memory controllers along with firmware and a full reference architecture, positioning NAND flash as active memory for key-value cache offload in inference rather than as passive archive storage. Balaji said the company has demonstrated more than 200 flexible data placement streams and 7 to 10 drive writes per day on standard triple-level-cell NAND, and that it is NAND-agnostic, offering reference designs and contract-manufacturing support around whatever flash customers can source.

  2. Samsung develops zNAND-T and zNAND-I flash for AI workloads

    Korean outlet ZDNET Korea reports that Samsung Electronics is developing two NAND flash products tuned for AI workloads, zNAND-T and zNAND-I. zNAND-T stands for throughput, using TSV-stacked NAND dies to optimize read/write bandwidth for data-center AI silicon, an approach the report likens to the HBF concept proposed by SanDisk and SK hynix; zNAND-I refers to IOPS and targets random performance in scenarios with frequent small reads and writes, such as KV cache offloading. Separately, Samsung announced a next-generation memory and storage technology strategy for AI infrastructure spanning high-performance memory, Compute Express Link (CXL)-based storage expansion, and new-generation SSD data storage and management. Together with the previously disclosed zNAND-O, the three zNAND variants are positioned for different workloads, which the report frames as a shift from general-purpose NAND toward customization.
