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. A model of that size previously required the use of engineering workstations or data-center servers costing up to ten times more. Now students, developers, researchers and organizations can access far greater AI capabilities on familiar notebook platforms at a lower cost.

At CES 2026, Phison is showcasing demonstrations of partner notebooks, desktops, mini-PCs and personal AI supercomputers running integrated processors with aiDAPTIV+, including Acer, Corsair, MSI and NVIDIA.
