Intel, Micron Unveil 25-Nm NAND Flash Chip2010-02-02 10:02 by DanielaTags: Intel, Micron, NAND flash chip
The new 25-nanometer, 2-bit-per-cell chip from Intel and Micron Technology can hold 8GB of data storage, more than 10 times the 700MB capacity of a standard CD. The chip measures a mere 167 square millimeters, making it small enough to fit through the hole in the middle of a CD. Intel and Micron Technology set the NAND flash capacity bar a little higher and the chip size threshold a little lower Feb. 1 with the introduction of the world's first 25-nanometer solid-state processor. The 25-nm, 2-bit-per-cell chip can hold 8GB of digital capacity, more than 10 times the 700MB capacity of a standard CD. The chip measures a mere 167 square millimeters—small enough to fit through the hole in the middle of a CD. "This is not only the smallest NAND lithography in the world, it is the smallest silicon manufacturing technology in the world," Intel Marketing Director Troy Winslow told eWEEK on a conference call. "This is now the largest-capacity multilevel cell device on the market, at 8GB. We were the first on 34 nm, now we're the first on 25 nm." Read more -here-
