....why not against their 9th gen?

Thats like if amd/nvidia comapred new gpu's to their 2 gen old cards....

I would be really impressed if they together with 38% increase of density *decreased* by 33% the number of stored bits per cell switching from TLC to MLC. That little sacrifice would bring a 1000% increase in endurance and reliability of flash long term. Yes not immediately but for sure 5-10 years later all people would start to really appreciate that

Did you see the table, there is no 9th gen Kioxia, they are comparing it to their own product, not the competitors.

So what are these chips for? Will these make it into consumer m.2 type drives etc? What does 4800mt/s convert to in terms of transfer speed? I'm a noob with this stuff but it sounds cool
