SanDisk forecasts annual AI token output could approach 10 quintillion by 2030
- SanDisk's Tokenomics 2030 outlook projects annual AI output could approach 10 quintillion tokens by 2030, versus approximately 150 quadrillion in 2026.
- That implies growth from roughly 5 billion tokens per second to approximately 317 billion, requiring broader infrastructure capacity and efficiency gains.
- Higher token output would increase storage demand, though requirements depend on workloads, context length and data reuse rather than a fixed conversion.
- Enterprise SSDs could store selected KV cache data, preserving prior computation while easing reliance on scarce high-bandwidth memory.
