"The Japanese giant start deliveries of the first sample of the flash chip products with 32-nanometer technology,"


Toshiba Corporation has announced the start of deliveries of the first memory chip made with NAND flash manufacturing process to 32 nanometers. The sample of chips for 32 gigabit and 32 nanometers are available now, while the first products of the sample solutions for 16 Gigabit and 32 nanometers will be made available during the month of July.

The new 32nm chips will initially be used for the production of memory cards and USB flash drive and then be used for the production of embedded solutions. Currently, Toshiba is leading the market with the proposed solutions from 32GB to 43nm, made by stacking eight NAND flash chips of 32 gigabits. The shift in the production process to 32 nanometers will allow, at the same density, reducing the total size of the chip.

It will therefore be possible to make flash-card solutions to the higher capacity, directed primarily for use with most modern mobile phones and mobile devices in general, where the explosion of multimedia content creates a need for storage solutions ever more capacious.

The production volumes of NAND flash chips of 32 gigabits will start in July, in advance of two months from the initial plan. The 16-gigabit solutions will be marketed from the third quarter of the year.

I think this should set the price and increase in the capacity would be the solution to ssd.

Well this is obvious to any decrease in the production process. However, a chip is holding 4GB ... Really impressive numbers. It 's just a matter of time before all of the HD.

It would be interesting to know some information on the speed of these chips in reading and writing.If anyone knows or anyone has calculated about it please mention here.
