PetaIO’s official announcement highlighted the features of its next-gen SSDs, which will be powered by the Titanium Himalaya controller. This flagship controller, built on a 6nm process node, promises impressive specifications. For a broader overview, refer to the complete press release excerpt below:

PetaIO introduces the cutting-edge PCIe 5.0 + CXL + AI integration through its Memory Semantic Fusion Storage technology, aimed at expanding TB-scale high-bandwidth memory for future AI large-model systems. This advancement will utilize the CXL interface, enabling a reservoir of ultra-large capacity storage resources (up to 256 TB) at low costs, thereby providing critical support to IDC and AIDC technologies.

The flagship PCIe 6.0 + AI + CXL controller chip, “Titanium Himalaya”, currently in development, is set to revolutionize data transfer with a remarkable sequential read bandwidth exceeding 28 GB/s. Furthermore, it is specifically optimized for AI inference and vector retrieval, achieving an exceptional IOPS performance of up to 50 million (for 512B) and a low latency of just 2.7 microseconds. This technology seamlessly integrates with high-performance networks, facilitating efficient caching of key model data and breaking through the computation “memory wall.”
