Samsung's new 64Gb NAND memory using 10 nanometer (nm)-class* process technology

[Kallenator]

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced a next-generation 64GB embedded multimedia card (eMMC) using 10 nanometer (nm)-class* process technology. The new 64Gb NAND memory went into production late last month.

Myungho Kim, vice president of Memory marketing, Device Solutions, Samsung Electronics noted, "The new high-speed, small form factor eMMC reinforces Samsung's technology leadership in storage memory solutions. We look forward to expanding our line-up of embedded memory solutions in conjunction with the new chip's design, in pursuing a system-level adoption of application processors and other key components that form the foundation for the most advanced mobile platforms. This will allow us to better attend to time-to-market demands enabling the design of more convenient features for next-generation mobile applications." /snip

I am a bit baffled by it being produced with 10nm tech, wondering what they mean with the asterisk placed behind class as well.

[naokaji]

They prob mean 10 - 19 nm range and it will most likely fall into the higher part of that, 18nm would be a concrete guess.

is a concrete guess more solid than a bamboo guess?

only by a small margin.



This is good news for phones and tablets, but I hope the lifetime and read/write speed didnt suffer too much. I would rather keep the capacities of phones the same for a while if people would concentrate on improved speeds instead.

I concur.

[DeathReborn]

I concur.

As long as we have the option to expand the storage via Memory Cards/USB then I am all for sticking phone storage in the 16-32-64GB range and going for speed.

I do like the fact they are looking into bypassing JEDEC in order to achieve the sort of speeds us Xtreme users expect. Standards are all well & good but sometimes you need someone pushing the envelope to create new & better tech.
