Kioxia announces GP1 PCIe 6.0 SSDs optimized for GPU direct access
Kioxia announced the GP1 Series PCIe 6.0 NVMe SSD, the first product in its GP Series, using second-generation XL-FLASH and targeting up to 10 million random-read IOPS for AI infrastructure; evaluation samples were planned for selected customers by the end of 2026.
Why it matters
Kioxia states that GP1 can deliver up to 10 million random-read IOPS and is designed for emerging AI storage architectures, but the figure is a product specification and evaluation samples were still planned rather than evidence of broad production deployment.
