When Tosh started shipping their new 19nm toggle, I figured Intel/Micron would be right on their heels...actually thought they'd be launched first. Here's a write up from Intel's newsroom dated Dec. 6th 2011.
"The companies also announced mass production of their 64Gb 20nm NAND, which further extends the companies' leadership in NAND process technology."
I've read several write ups saying they've been in full mass production for a while (approx. 10 months according to what Intel stated)...so...Where is it??
I'm hoping that the newer and cheaper 20nm may be enuff to bring the price down on future launches of 240GB SF-2282 based drives running 32 nand chips like the newest Corsair Force GT and GS (with 32 toggle chips). I know not to expect the new 128Gb (16GB) onfi3 dies until late 4th quarter or maybe Q1 2013. But when it is ready it'll be the 480/512 drive sizes that'll rule the scene thanx to both the shrink and the speed increase afforded by onfi3.0 spec nand. Too bad they can't stuff 32 x 128Gb nand chips w/ a 2282 into a standard 2.5" enclosure...tho a 1TB 3.5" doesn't sound so bad.
