AMD party trasher Intel and memory heavyweight Micron have now started bragging with the manufacturing of the first sub-40nm NAND chip. The record-braking chip is made using the 34nm process and is a 32 Gb multi-level cell part. The advancement in manufacturing technology has been made by Intel and Micron's NAND joint venture IM Flash Technologies and it will see the new 32 Gb chip being sampled as soon as next month with mass production being planned for later this year.
"This new 32 Gb device provides the best bit storage density available in the industry," said Brian Shirley, vice president of Micron's Memory Group. "Together with our partners at Intel, we're proud to have now taken the lead in production process technology."
The 34nm-build 32 Gb NAND chip is expected to help bring higher-capacity solid state drives while also lowering the costs of such solutions. It's a win-win situation.
