Today, Micron and Intel in a joint press release reported the beginning of mass production of memory chips, such as MLC at 64 gigabits on 20-nm technology, and obtaining samples of memory chips with 128 gigabits density. The latter allows to place on one monolithic chip with eight cores a terabit of information.
MLC memory chip supports ONFI 3.0 interface, provides a data rate up to 333 million transactions per second. In the production of solid-state memory with 20 nm Intel and Micron will use transistors with metallic gate and materials with high dielectric constant (high-k).
Release of MLC chips at 64 gigabits deployed this month, samples of 128-gigabit chip will be available in January 2012, mass production will begin in the first half of the year. End users can expect a further decline in prices for SSDs after a mass transition to 20nm memory chips. Related Products :
