SK hynix adds custom control cores to next-generation enterprise SSD controllers

Tom's Hardware reports that SK hynix has described H-TPU, a set of small in-house processor cores for its next enterprise SSD controllers. They are designed to take over routine I/O processing from the controller's Arm CPUs as drive speeds increase. The change points to a controller architecture response to growing SSD workloads, but the supplied summary does not quantify power savings, performance gains or a launch date.
