@ 2020/10/22Up to 7,400/6,800 MB/s of sequential performance
Silicon Motion announced three new PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD controllers, including the high-end 12nm SM2264 controller, capable of hitting 7.400MB/s and 6.800MB/s sequential read and write performance.
Silicon Motion said its new lineup includes three new PCIe 4.0 interface SSD controllers with NVMe 1.4 protocol, the SM2267XT, SM2267, and SM2264. These will cover mainstream/entry-level and high-end SSD market segments.
High-end SM2264 switch to 12nm quad ARM Cortex R8
For the high-end market segment and in order to compete with the likes of Samsung, upcoming Phison's E18, or the Phison E16 controller, which was the first consumer PCIe 4.0 controller, Silicon Motion uses 12nm manufacturing process and sticks to the high-performance ARM Cortex R8 CPU cores, or four of them to be precise.
The high-end SM2264 controller will have PCIe 4.0 x4 host interface, 8-channel NAND support with 1600MT/s (8 CE/Channel), supports LPDDR4/DDR4 DRAM, and 4kB size LDPC error correction.
