Samsung has announced
that it has started developing industry’s first eMMC (embedded
multimedia card memory) 5.1 flash memory. This is based on the eMMC 5.1
standard approved by JEDEC recently. Sequential reads and write speed of
Samsung’s 64GB eMMC 5.0 flash memory were 250MB/s and 90MB/s
respectively. Samsung’s 64GB flash memory based on eMMC 5.1 would offer
sequential write speed of 125MB/s, faster than eMMC 5.0.
The 64GB eMMC 5.1 memory achieves up to 11,000 IOPS (input/output
operations per second) and 13,000 IOPS, which are approximately seven
and 26 times faster respectively, compared to a typical external micro
SD card with approximately 1,500 IOPS and 500 IOPS, says Samsung.
Samsung has developed eMMC 5.1 products in 64GB, 32GB and 16GB
capacities.
The new eMMC 5.1 with better read and write speed would offer seamless
multitasking activities including the streaming and playback of UHD
(Ultra High Definition) video content. It also offers Secure Write
Protection security protocol feature that ensures only its designated
users access secured areas of the eMMC.
Samsung is mass producing eMMC 5.0 based flash memory from 4GB to 64GB
capacities for the past few years. The company says that it is already
in the process of preparing to ship the first eMMC 5.1 products to some
smartphone and tablet OEMs. It is also likely to use the same in its
devices later this year.
