NAND flash chip of 32 Gigabit in TSOP
package
Intel and Micron have jointly able to
pack 32 GB of storage capacity in a single chip monolithic
device of thumb size. By successfully scaling down to 34-nanometer
technology by using advanced NAND process called multilevel
cell, these two companies have developed 32 GB flash chip
in a TSOP package. The joint venture of Intel and Micron called
IM flash technologies will make this chip available in volumes
in 2nd half of 2008.
This growing trend of higher capacity integration will boost
further the adaptation of Solid State Drives (SSD) to next
level. The SSDs now have the disadvantage of cost-factor.
But with this kind new products getting released to market
faster, the SSD will no more be costlier than Magnetic Disk
Drives.
The stacked package will double the capacity
to 64 GB ---- nearly as massive as present Magnetic Disk Drives.
SSDs offer the advantage of lower power,
faster boot-up time, access speed, and reduced noise than
hard disk drives.
Get ready to design your systems with SSDs!!
