Intel, Micron launch 50nm mlc flash
Intel and Micron Technology are sampling a 16Gbit multilevel cell (mlc) NAND flash memory manufactured by IM Flash Technologies, their joint venture, on a 50nm process.
“In only one year, Micron and Intel have developed the industry’s leading NAND flash memory mlc product and aggressively ramped a factory network that is delivering today for our customers,” said Micron’s coo Mark Durcan. “We’re proud of the accomplishments we’re achieving with Intel and we look forward to more milestones in the next year.”
Randy Wilhelm, general manager of Intel’s NAND products group, added: “Intel and Micron were the first in the industry to introduce 50nm single level NAND samples last July and developing the industry’s most advanced 50nm MLC architecture is a further proof point to the strength of this development and manufacturing relationship.”
