Micron Unveils Industry-Leading Client SSD to Fuel Demanding PC Applications for Gaming, Content Creation and Scientific Computing
05 Dezembro 2023 - 11:02AM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced it is
shipping the Micron 3500 NVMe™ SSD, which leverages its 232-layer
NAND to power demanding workloads for business applications,
scientific computing, cutting-edge gaming and content creation,
pushing the limits of what is possible. The Micron 3500 SSD,
available in the M.2 form factor and with capacities up to 2TB,
provides a superior user experience over the competition1 as proven
by its best-in-class SPECwpcsm performance, including an up to 71%
improvement for product development applications.2
“At Micron, we are focused on delivering exceptional products
that best meet the rigorous needs of end-users,” said Prasad
Alluri, Micron’s vice president and general manager of Client
Storage. “With impressive specs like a remarkable 132% improvement
in scientific computing benchmark scores,2 the 3500 SSD will turn
your next PC or workstation into a powerhouse to enable insights
and empower creativity.”
Storage has never been more critical to gaming, content creation
and emerging client AI experiences. Games have become more
graphics-rich and increased in size, which leads to longer load
times. Client AI applications require rapid data access to enhance
the user experience. The Micron 3500 SSD tackles these challenges
directly:
- Gamers can level up their playing
experience as the Micron 3500 SSD loads the biggest, newest games
like Valorant™ up to 38% faster.3
- The Micron 3500 SSD also supports
DirectStorage, a feature that further accelerates load times in
supported games.
- Content creators who work with
native 4K and 8K video and want to speed their time to go live can
load and edit files faster with the Micron 3500 SSD.
- According to the PCMark 10®
benchmark suite,4 the Micron 3500 SSD provides:
- Up to 36% higher bandwidth
- Up to 38% faster access
- Up to 37% better overall results
than competitive SSDs
“As immersive technologies evolve, fast storage plays a crucial
role in open-world games and cutting-edge notebooks like our Gaming
Series,” said Clark Peng, vice president of the Notebook Product
Division at MSI. “The Micron 3500 SSD enables this performance edge
with leading NAND support to maintain that advantage in upcoming
game releases.”
“The Micron 3500 SSD is a high-performance drive supporting
cutting-edge software that enables direct data transfer to the GPU.
This improves the user experience and will radically transform
early-generation, AI-ready PCs,” said Pablo Temprano, founder at
ClearView Memory Research. “As client AI evolves, we foresee a
robust increase in units and average storage capacity for high-end
PCs.”
The Micron 3500 is now shipping to select PC OEMs and
complements Micron’s broader SSD product portfolio for creators,
which includes the award-winning Crucial X9 Pro and Crucial X10 Pro
portable SSDs. To learn more about the Micron 3500 SSD, visit
