Intel and Micron’s joint venture, IM Flash Technologies (IMFT) has achieved a major breakthrough by developing the world’s first 25nm-based NAND flash. Using the 25nm process technology, Intel believes the NAND can give consumer electronics manufacturers a way to integrate larger amounts of storage in a cost-effective manner.
Intel and Micron has developed an 8GB [...]

 
Toshiba has pulled out an industry first by unveiling a 64GB embedded NAND flash memory module. The new modules are fabricated with 32nm process technology and embeds sixteen 32Gbit (or 4GB) NAND chips to achieve huge storage in a small 30 micrometers thick profile. The chips also integrate a dedicated controller, has a sequential read/write [...]

 
Samsung is trying to strengthen its position in the NAND memory market by starting mass production of industry’s first 30nm-based 3-bit Multi Level Cell (MLC) NAND chips and 30nm-based asynchronous DDR NAND flash.
Samsung claims the 3-bit MLC NAND increases the efficiency of the data storage by 50 percent compared to current 2-bit MLC NAND [...]

 
Samsung has developed the world’s thinnest multi-die memory package that is just 0.6mm thick and packs a whopping 32GB of storage. The new memory package is 40 percent thinner and lighter compared to the conventional memory packages stacked with eight chips. The ultra-thin package consists of eight dies (chips) of 4GB NAND flash that are [...]

 
Intel in conjunction with Micron have developed a 3-bit-per-cell (3bpc) NAND technology fabricated with 34nm. This breakthrough has made it possible for them to create the industry’s smallest and cost-effective 32-gigabit (Gb) chip that can be used in storage devices like USB drives and flash cards.
The 3bpc on 34nm NAND is important for both the [...]

 
Micron is now mass producing its new generation NAND flash memory that uses 34nm process technology. Lexar Media, subsidiary of Micron is the first company to gain advantage of this tech who will integrate these NANDs in their 32GB Platinum II SDHC and 16GB microSDHC cards.
Micron’s 16- and 32-Gigabit (Gb) MLC NAND chips feature [...]

Toshiba has announced to ship its high density NAND flash chips fabricated with 32nm technology soon. Samples of 32nm based 16Gb (2GB) and 32Gb (4GB) flash chips are available now which can be used to integrate in memory cards, USB drives and other embedded products. The 32Gb chip will first be applied to memory card, [...]

 
According to a report by ThinkEquity Partners, Apple is gobbling down quantities of NAND flash memory which could jack up the flash memory prices. Apple’s craze to get their hands on the memory has apparently resulted buying all the Samsung’s memory inventory up to April 2009.
Though it could be a boon to the flash [...]

 
World’s largest NAND flash memory maker, Samsung Electronics is thinking to buy out SanDisk to further expand its memory business. Both the parties refrain from confirming or denying the news but both agree of talking to each other “for potential business opportunities”. The business opportunities are unclear but if this one goes through, Samsung will [...]

 
Devices using NAND flash will soon be boasting large memory space if they opt for Toshiba’s latest 32GB NAND Flash innovation. It’s the largest density NAND flash chip produced and is fully complied with eMMC and eSD standards. Eight 4GB NAND chips sit on this memory which are fabricated with 43nm process technology. There’s also [...]
