Intel and Micron have jointly announced what may be the world’s smallest, densest NAND flash memory device yet. Their 25-nanometer NAND flash semiconductor offers 8 GB of memory in a single NAND processor. This could pave the way for higher capacity storage for consumer devices. The 25nm NAND semiconductor is sampling now; it will be in production in the second quarter of 2010. For consumer electronics manufacturers, the 25nn NAND processor provides the highest density in a single two bits-per-cell multi-level cell die that will fit a thin, small-outline package, Intel said.
