TRANSCRIPT
What is UFS?
UFS Opportunity in the post PC era
SmartPhone and Tablet technology outpacing PC demand Mobile compute pla>orms
Trend in towards use as primary compute pla>orm Mul@ple new OS ecosystems emerging
Performance now more than just throughput High IOPS & low latency
Significant new growth expected in Asia Lower cost pla>orms Feature rich User configurable devices

The third wave of mobile compute pla>orms driving future designs Mul@-‐threaded (IOPS) compu@ng model Large mul@-‐media files require capacity & transfer bandwidth Future growth is at 10W… not 50W-‐100W
• Low power consump@on with high performance
Smartphone growth in Asia key to driving future demand Low cost.. yet feature & performance rich Opportunity for both embedded and add-‐in card SSD storage
The UFS advantage Designed from the ground-‐up to meet the future mobile pla>orms needs Technology availability mee@ng market transi@on @meline Configura@on flexibility with seamless high IOPS performance Extendable performance with mul@-‐lanes providing many years of runway
