Intel's flash memory division is set to double the density
of its largest chip by moving to the company's latest
manufacturing technology.
Samples of Intel's first
65-nanometer NOR flash memory chip will be available this
quarter. Mobile phone vendors will be able to start using
them in large quantities by the end of the year, said Brian
Harrison, vice president and general manager of Intel's
flash memory group. The new flash memory chips will be able
to hold one gigabit (Gb) of data, up from the 512Mb of data
stored by its current 90-nanometer flash chips, he said.
