The Consumer Electronics Show is a great place to pick up on technology trends; this year, everyone was talking about mobile devices and streaming content from the cloud. We’ve been fielding questions about the cloud for a while from people who assume it will mean a smaller memory market as smartphones and tablets scale back [...]
Today, Intel and Micron announced our latest advancement of NAND process technology—20nm NAND. Our new device crams 8GB into about 40% less die area than our already-tiny 25nm NAND.
Get the details about what it is, how it works, and why it’s advantageous in this whiteboard overview.
Analyst firm iSuppli recently issued a report forecasting a major surge in shipments of NAND flash memory in the coming months as a result of the explosion in the tablet device market.
NAND Flash represents the most advanced semiconductor technology in the world, and is approaching the atomic level where storage cells are separated by a countable number of electrons. Taken at face value, one might assume that these advances are creating a palpable opportunity for designers to capitalize on increased market demands for higher density applications in consumer electronic devices, computing platforms, and industrial systems. However, there are a few hurdles that we need to overcome before customers can seize this burgeoning opportunity.
In this brief whiteboard video, I explain just how small 25nm is (3,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair) and why our ongoing quest to shrink process technology is vital to the future of storage.
Today, Micron and Intel announced 25nm NAND, the smallest, most advanced semiconductor process technology in the world.
We just announced 34nm SLC and MLC Enterprise NAND parts that can hit 300,000 and 30,000 cycles, respectively. These new parts deliver unmatched density, cost-efficiency, and reliability and will open up new potential for NAND storage in enterprise applications. Watch my quick explanation and understand why.
There’s been a lot of discussion lately about NAND in enterprise applications. Can NAND hit enterprise requirements? Will sub-40nm NAND ever serve this market? Is it really a compelling choice? Put simply: yes. Here are a few reasons why:
Micron’s Kevin Kilbuck, director of strategic NAND marketing talks about the hottest buzz happening at this year’s FMS.
