aiDAPTIV+ technology and partner solutions will be showcased at the Phison Bellagio Suite and partner booths during CES from January 6-8, 2026, including support for:
Reduced TCO and Memory Consumption
For Mixture of Experts (MoE) inference processing, aiDAPTIV+ offloads the memory demands from DRAM over to cost-effective flash-based cache memory. In Phison testing, a 120B parameter can now be handled with 32GB of DRAM in contrast to the 96GB required in traditional approaches.1 This expands the ability to do MoE processing to a broader range of platforms.
Faster Inference Performance
By storing tokens that no longer fit in the KV cache during inference, aiDAPTIV+ makes those tokens reusable for future prompts instead of recalculating them. Based on Phison testing, this accelerates inference response times by ten times and lowers power consumption. Early aiDAPTIV+ inference testing on notebook PCs shows substantial responsiveness gains, delivering noticeable improvement on Time to First Token (TTFT). These results demonstrate the significant inference acceleration achievable on notebook platforms.
Bigger Data on Smaller Devices
Combining Phison’s aiDAPTIV+ and new Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with built-in Intel Arc GPUs enables larger LLMs to be trained directly on notebook PCs addressing industry demand for high-performance AI workflows utilizing iGPUs.Phison’s lab testing shows that a notebook equipped with this technology can fine-tune a 70B-parameter model.
