Samsung Announces Faster Flash Memory For Smartphones
Samsung said that it has developed a speedy 64 GB memory chip for smartphone and tablet applications.
The embedded multimedia card (e-MMC) uses a stack of eight 64 Gb, 20 nm NAND flash memory chips with a toggle DDR 2 interface. It is about 1.4 mm thick and weighs 0.6 grams.
"By starting production of the 64Gb-based 64GB e-MMC solution this year, we are accelerating the pace of adoption of premium embedded memory cards," said Myung Ho Kim, vice president of memory marketing at Samsung in a prepared statement.
According to the company, the device supports sequential read speeds of up to 80 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 40MB/s, which is about three times better than the current product generation. The input/output performance is rated at 400 IOPS.
Samsung shipped its first 64GB e-MMC in January of 2010 using 30n 32Gb NAND flash components, and started producing 64GB eMMC with 20nm-class 32Gb NAND flash late last year. There was no information when the 64 Gb-based flash will be available.
i got the boiling oil ready to pour down their mouths
What does "Can it play Crysis?" have to do with flash memory? I don't get it. We're talking about a flash memory, not a computer of its own. I wonder if the DROID 4 will be able to...though.
How you like them Apples? lol
Just one more year and I think they will be able to do what I want them to do (replace my netbook).
Spend a little more time reading and you might understand something. 8 stacks of 64Gb NAND = 64GBs of NAND
