Kioxia unveils new SSD targeting AI workloads

Kioxia has introduced a new SSD designed for high-performance AI applications. The drive aims to deliver millions of IOPS to GPUs and potentially overcome AI memory constraints.

Kioxia, a storage technology company, announced a new solid-state drive (SSD) highlighted by TechRadar. The product is positioned to support demanding AI workloads by providing GPUs with millions of input/output operations per second (IOPS). According to the report, this SSD could help break existing limits in AI memory capabilities, particularly when feeding high-bandwidth memory (HBM) GPUs, as suggested in the article's title referencing the GP series and storage-class memory. The unveiling targets scenarios requiring extreme performance in AI processing. No further technical specifications or release details were provided in the source summary. TechRadar published the coverage on March 22, 2026.

SK hynix achieved a record quarterly performance in the third quarter, fueled by surging demand for AI chips. Operating profit reached 11.38 trillion won, up significantly from the previous year, with revenue hitting 24.44 trillion won. The results were driven by strong sales of high-bandwidth memory and other high-performance products.

Japanese memory maker Kioxia has announced that its manufacturing capacity is fully booked until the end of 2026, due to surging demand from AI investments. This shortage is expected to keep SSD prices high for both enterprise and consumer markets. Executives warn that companies cannot afford to halt AI spending amid competitive pressures.

The surging appetite for AI storage is quietly upending the NAND market, pushing SSD prices toward a new, higher baseline. Analysts predict that the adoption of higher-layer NAND and QLC technologies will hinder supply growth, leading to irreversible price increases.

Keebmon has introduced a groundbreaking mini PC that integrates a mechanical keyboard and a 21:9 touchscreen display into a single device. Powered by Ryzen AI, it features 64GB of RAM and an 8TB SSD, potentially transforming portable computing. Users can swap switches and keycaps without disassembling the unit.

High-capacity DRAM prices are surging as demand from AI servers strains supply for personal computers. Average selling prices per gigabit rose sharply in late 2025. This trend is expected to push costs almost double by March 2026.

Chinese researchers have introduced photonic AI chips that promise significant speed advantages in specific generative tasks. These chips use photons instead of electrons, enabling greater parallelism through optical interference. The development could mark a step forward in AI hardware, though claims are limited to narrowly defined applications.

Oracle has announced OCI Zettascale10, described as the world's largest AI supercomputer, featuring six times more GPUs than its 2024 predecessor. The company continues to rely on AMD chips for its superclusters despite Nvidia's industry dominance. This move aligns with Oracle's strategy to integrate AI directly with users' data wherever they operate.
