Phison announced at Computex 2022 that it will work with its partners AMD and Micron to build a cooperative PCIe Gen5 ecosystem of compatible products, and the three parties will jointly announce the advent of the PCIe 5.0 SSD era.

Phison Electronics said that with the popularity of 5G networks, the demand for high-speed transmission has been driven, including storage applications for PCs, laptops, game consoles, cloud servers, and smartphones. If you want to further increase the speed of data transmission, you need a higher level, that is, the PCIe 5.0 platform. Therefore, Phison, in cooperation with AMD and Micron, will not only build a PCIe 5.0 ecosystem but will also launch corresponding products. It includes AMD’s AM5 platform, Micron’s DDR5 and Replacement-Gate 3D NAND, and Phison’s new-generation PCIe 5.0 main control chip PS5026-E26 to help the high-speed transmission and high-speed storage requirements derived from 5G networks.

“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.”

In addition to the PCIe 5.0 master chip PS5026-E26 for enterprise-class and high-end desktop gaming SSDs, Phison Electronics plans to fully display its storage solutions during Computex 2022. These include the world’s first PCI-SIG certified PCIe 5.0 Redriver IC PS7101 just released, multiple PCIe 4.0 main control chips (E18DC/E21T/E27T), mobile storage solution UFS 3.1 PS8318, and on-board storage solutions.
