Phison releases PS5026-E26 SSD controller, providing speeds beyond 10 GB/s
At the CES 2022 exhibition, Phison released a new generation of PCIe 5.0 controller PS5026-E26, which will be targeted at enterprise-level and high-end desktop gaming SSDs. Phison Electronics claims that the new controller can provide double the performance of PCIe 4.0 similar products.
In 2019, Phison Electronics is the only manufacturer that cooperates with AMD Ryzen 3000 series processors to launch PCIe 4.0 SSD controller. For a long time, the PCIe 4.0 SSDs available on the market used Phison’s PS5016-E16 controller. This time Phison has made persistent efforts and once again released the PCIe 5.0 controller solution.
The PS5026-E26 SSD controller is manufactured using a 12nm process, supporting Phison’s exclusive CoXProcessor 2.0 architecture, and functions such as PCIe Dual Port, SR-IOV, and ZNS, provides data transmission speeds exceeding 10 GB/s and can provide product requirements of M.2, U.3, E1.S, and E3.S specifications to meet different time difference requirements.
In addition, Phison also released two controllers, PS5021-E21T, and PS5013-E13T. PS5021-E21T is the new PCIe 4.0 DRAM-free cache architecture product, which will replace E19T and E21T BGA, which is a higher level than E13T, to provide a good experience for the next generation of mobile games. PS5013-E13T is the solution adopted by the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 gaming phone series, providing excellent performance and efficiency, with a 69% increase in read and write performance, indicating that NVMe redefines mobile gaming. At CES 2022, the flagship will make relevant demonstrations.
It is expected that products based on the new generation of PCIe 5.0 controllers should appear within the year, and they will all be equipped with heat sinks.
