Samsung has unveiled a new generation of storage cards for smartphones, aimed at running artificial intelligence models on phones without the need to connect to the Internet in order to access the servers of the developers of those models.
The Korean company said in a statement that the new cards offer two storage capacities, the first 256 GB, which is of the type of SD Express size micro, and is offered by the end of this year, and the second capacity 1 TB of the type UHS-1 microSD, and is offered in the third quarter of this year.
The first card can transfer data up to 800 Mbps, which is 1.4 times faster than SATA SSD storage disks, which have a data transfer speed of up to 560 Mbps, and this rate is 4 times higher than traditional UHS-1 data storage cards.
Samsung has equipped the cards with dynamic thermal protection technology that maintains the internal temperature of the cards, making data transfer a safe and stable process in terms of speed, thus preserving data from damage at extreme temperatures.
Experts considered that this step opens the way for the development of smartphones powered by artificial intelligence, as the new microSD cards add a large space for storage and data transfer speed commensurate with the speed required to transfer and analyze the data necessary to provide smart features.
They explained that when you run a smart platform like ChatGPT to answer questions related to analyzing files on phones or editing and editing photos, it requires storage capacity that accommodates data, as well as databases required to run the platforms. Experts stressed the importance of processing files and images locally in order to preserve user privacy.
Companies such as Google, Samsung, Honor and Xiaomi have begun to offer features on their phones based on artificial intelligence, but to ensure a fast experience, it requires new generations of internal components of phones commensurate with the speed of processing, analysis and transfer of data, such as new processors, storage cards and upgraded random memories.
