Micron: Micron Technology, Inc. Redefines Performance for AI Pcs, Gamers and Professionals

Micron Technology, Inc. announced the Micron 4600 PCIe® Gen5 NVMe? SSD, an innovative client storage drive for OEMs that is designed to deliver exceptional performance and user experience for gamers, creators and professionals. Leveraging Micron® G9 TLC NAND, the 4600 SSD is Micron's first Gen5 client SSD and doubles the performance of its predecessor. The Micron 4600 SSD showcases sequential read speeds of 14.5 GB/s and write speeds of 12.0 GB/s. These capabilities allow users to load a large language model (LLM) from the SSD to DRAM in less than one second, enhancing the user experience with AI PCs. For AI model loading times, the 4600 SSD reduces load times by up to 62% compared to Gen4 performance SSDs3 ensuring rapid deployment of LLMs and other AI workloads. Additionally, the 4600 SSD provides up to 107% improved energy efficiency (MB/s per watt) compared to Gen4 performanceSSs, enhancing battery life and overall system efficiency. The 4600 SSD is the second Micron client SSD to incorporate the most advanced Micron G9 NAND technology, following the Micron 2650 NVMe SSD already in production. Accomplishing more and cutting down wait time is more important than ever to gamers, creators and professionals alike. The 4600 leverages PCIe Gen5 technology and the Micron G9 TLC NAND to provide remarkable speed and energy efficiency. The 4600 NVMe SSD delivers up-to performance improvements over Gen4 SSDs:4; 14.5 GB/s sequential read speeds, 107%; 12.0 GB/s sequential write speeds, 71%; 2.1 million random read IOPS, 83%; 2.1 millionrandom read IOPS, 83% and 2.1 million random write IOPS, 83%. Enhanced user experience: Designed to elevate AI, scientific, gaming and content creation experiences, the Micron 4600 NVMe SSD unlocks best-in-class PCMark 10 benchmark scores: Up to 38% better than Gen4 performance SSDs4; Up to 11% better scores compared to Gen5 competitors. The 4600 SSD provides exceptional user experiences over previous Gen4 drives for scientific, media and entertainment, along with a variety of other use cases, as demonstrated with the SPECwpc5 benchmark results on speed improvements:4; Media and entertainment applications: up to 61% faster; Energy industry applications: up to 59% faster; Product development applications: up to 45% faster; Life sciences applications: up to 38% faster; Building upon prior ultra-secure features like TCG Opal, signed firmware and secure boot, the 4600 SSD includes the latest in advanced security features such as Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM), Data Object Exchange (DOE) and Device Identifier Composition Engine (DICE), helping provide improved protection of user data. The Micron 4600 NVMeSS is now available for OEM sampling globally. Micron Technology, Inc. announced the Micron 4600 PCIe® Gen5 NVMe?
