Realign the data and the previous 32 and 64 gigabit roadblocks to flash
storage disappear. Today, Intel and Micron announced the first 128
gigabit NAND flash chip. The chip, which was created through the
companies' joint IM Flash Technologies venture, is smaller than a
fingertip, created through a 20 nanometer manufacturing process
and is capable of 333 megatransfers per second with the option of
stacking as many as eight chips on top of each other. What makes the new
NAND unique is its planar structure that allows individual memory cells
to scale much smaller than before. When combined with a Hi-K/metal gate
combo to keep the power leaks to a minimum, presto, you've got flash
memory denser than your mother-in-law's fruitcake. Mass production of
the 128Gb chips isn't due until the first half of 2012, but you can get a
more in-depth intro to the future of flash right now in the PR below.
