Phison Announces Strategic PCIe Gen5 Relationship with AMD and Micron at Computex 2022

Eco­sys­tem col­la­bo­ra­ti­on bet­ween part­ners unvei­led for PCIe Gen5 to shape tech­no­lo­gy and com­pu­te expe­ri­ence for the future in an always-con­nec­ted world.

Tai­pei, Tai­wan, May 23, 2022 – Phison Elec­tro­nics Corp. (TPEX: 8299), a lea­ding pro­vi­der of NAND con­trol­ler and flash sto­rage solu­ti­ons, announ­ced today a stra­te­gic col­la­bo­ra­ti­on (video link: https://youtu.be/7RIzDxoxVFE )  with AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and Micron (NASDAQ: MU) to build a coope­ra­ti­ve PCIe Gen5 eco­sys­tem of com­pa­ti­ble pro­ducts that ele­va­te the gam­ing and crea­tor expe­ri­ence. Phison’s role includes deli­ve­ring a class-lea­ding PCie Gen5 SSD con­trol­ler – PS5026-E26 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy6ddjEymd0 )– that fea­tures near­ly a 2x per­for­mance increase over the pre­vious gene­ra­ti­on flag­ship while adhe­ring to the same power limi­ta­ti­ons of the M.2 form factor. 

We are plea­sed to announ­ce our coope­ra­ti­ve effort with Micron and AMD to advan­ce the tech­no­lo­gi­cal deve­lo­p­ment of PCIe Gen5 sto­rage offe­rings, as this vali­da­tes Phison’s com­mit­ment to uphol­ding cus­to­mer-cen­tric values,” said Leo Huang, Sr. Direc­tor, Pro­duct Mar­ke­ting, Phison. “The E26 con­trol­ler enables gamers to com­pe­te at the hig­hest level and helps con­tent crea­tors to maxi­mi­ze the over­all sys­tem per­for­mance to increase productivity.” 

The need for high-speed sto­rage has increased with the popu­la­ri­ty of 5G Wire­less avai­la­bi­li­ty world­wi­de. Glo­bal mar­kets inclu­ding desk­top PC, note­books, gam­ing con­so­les, cloud ser­vers and even mobi­le devices will bene­fit from increased data trans­fer rates and the band­width available for mul­ti­task pur­po­ses. The eco­sys­tem con­sis­ting of AMD’s AM5 plat­form, Phison’s PS5026-E26 con­trol­ler, Micron’s DDR5 DRAM and Repla­ce­ment Gate 3D NAND allow for plat­form acce­le­ra­ti­on across the enti­re sys­tem to meet the requi­re­ments for today’s always-con­nec­ted lifestyle. 

Micron’s col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with AMD and Phison is tar­ge­ted to deli­ver the industry’s most powerful sto­rage offe­ring and high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting expe­ri­ence available to con­su­mers,” said Micron’s Direc­tor of Pro­duct Line Manage­ment, Jona­than Weech. “Through its Cru­cial bran­ded pro­ducts, Micron is focu­sed on brin­ging high-value NAND solu­ti­ons to PC enthu­si­asts. This uni­que com­bi­na­ti­on of Micron NAND and Phison’s Gen5 con­trol­ler, along with AMD’s AM5 plat­form, will help acce­le­ra­te the tran­si­ti­on to PCIe Gen5 SSDs.” 

Our goal is to deli­ver an incre­di­ble uplift in band­width to acce­le­ra­te PC per­for­mance and user expe­ri­en­ces,” said Leah Schoeb, Sr. Mana­ger, Sto­rage and Memo­ry, AMD. “Col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with Micron and Phison signi­fies AMD’s com­mit­ment to empower and ele­va­te gam­ing and crea­tor expe­ri­en­ces of the future with AMD’s new socket technology.” 

Phison has an all-inclu­si­ve sche­du­le for Com­putex 2022 with an exci­ting full sca­le pro­duct line of sto­rage solu­ti­ons. In addi­ti­on to show­ing the flag­ship PS5026-E26 PCIe Gen5 con­trol­ler, the com­pa­ny will also introduce:

  • The first PCIe Gen4 BGA SSD using the PS5021-E21T controller.
  • PS5027-E27T, a next gene­ra­ti­on DRAM­less PCIe Gen4 solu­ti­on desi­gned to over­co­me the stick power requi­re­ments of mobi­le com­pu­ting, will be dis­cus­sed for the first time.
  • E18DC, an M.2 form fac­tor data cen­ter solu­ti­on for diver­se workloads inclu­ding ser­ver boot and read intensive.
  • PS8318, a UFS 3.1 pro­blem sol­ver tar­ge­ting a wide-ran­ge of mar­kets inclu­ding VR, and mobile.
  • E21T, an ener­gy effi­ci­ent indus­tri­al embedded Gen4 solu­ti­on desi­gned to dri­ve down cos­ts while incre­asing productivity
  • MPT Series of cus­to­mi­zed auto­mo­ti­ve sto­rage products.
  • The World’s First PCIe 5.0 Redri­ver IC cer­ti­fied by PCI-SIG.
