JEDEC officially announced UFS 5.0, the new version of Universal Flash Storage, to keep pace with the increasing needs of AI-based mobile computing . The future of mobile performance looks brighter with this one, but what can we expect from it?
What Makes UFS 5.0 a Game-Changer in Mobile Storage?
UFS 5.0 also raises the bar for mobile storage technology with sequential read and write speeds of up to 10.8 GB/s, almost double that of the current UFS 4.0 standard. Even with the staggering speed increase, it's also power-efficient, guaranteeing enhanced performance without sacrificing your device's battery life.
To place this in context, Digital Trends reports that UFS 5.0 surpasses the typical PCIe Gen 4 SSD, which can transfer about 7.5 GB/s, but lags behind the newest PCIe Gen 5 SSDs
