1 min read
Samsung Electronics has begun volume production of an ultra fast embedded memory for next generation smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices.
Available in 16, 32 and 64GB densities, the company says the embedded multimedia card (eMMC) Pro Class 1500 delivers the industry's fastest speeds for an embedded memory device, reading data sequentially at up to 140MB/s and writing it at up to 50MB/s. For random reading and writing, it can process up to 3500/1500 inputs and outputs per second (IOPS), which is four times the speed of previous eMMC solutions.
"With the production of 64GB Samsung eMMC Pro Class 1500, we are delighted to provide the highest performing mobile storage solutions available that support the latest eMMC standard to the worldwide mobile makers," said JaeHyeong Lee, vp of memory product planning & application engineering at Samsung.
The storage device uses Samsung's 64Gb NAND with a toggle DDR 2.0 interface based on the company's 20nanometre class process technology. It supports the latest JEDEC e-MMC v4.5 specification.
