Phison Electronics (8299TT), described in the article as the world’s largest independent supplier of NAND flash controllers and NAND storage solutions, announced on 11/27 that its self-designed E28 has been awarded the 2025 Taiwan Excellence Gold Award. The company framed the recognition as validation of its leadership in artificial intelligence storage and edge-artificial intelligence-computing architectures and as an example of Taiwan’s rising influence in the global artificial intelligence technology landscape.
Built on Phison’s proprietary architecture, the E28 is presented as the world’s first 6 nm artificial intelligence-computing SSD solution and is described in the article as featuring a breakthrough architecture that tightly integrates the SSD with the GPU. That integration enables the SSD to directly extend GPU memory capacity, a capability the article highlights as a way to overcome memory bottlenecks commonly faced in edge-artificial intelligence training.
The article states that by extending GPU memory capacity the E28 allows enterprises to train generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) models securely and efficiently on-premises and that this approach can significantly reduce reliance on costly artificial intelligence memory. The award and the product description are presented together as evidence of Phison’s focus on AI-oriented storage innovation and as a sign of Taiwan’s role in advancing artificial intelligence hardware and edge computing solutions.
