Samsung says that Samsung's OneNAND flash memory will be supported by new QUALCOMM Mobile Station Modem chipsets. Support for OneNAND flash, already available on a few MSM chipsets, will be extended to a much wider range of upcoming multimedia-rich products now being optimized to take full advantage of OneNAND's high performance. The industry's fastest read/write speeds, delivered by OneNAND, will complement the performance needs of multimedia-rich MSM chipsets, especially those for 3G phones and for new services from carriers. As the industry quickly moves to 3G-based content-centric services, the 17MB/s write speed of OneNAND can support guaranteed continuously-streaming air downloads beyond the High-Speed Downlink Packet Access specification.

Mobile phone manufacturers can receive OneNAND's cost-effective benefits on QUALCOMM's chipsets with integrated software packages, for complete design solutions. The extremely fast performance of OneNAND makes it not only well-suited for multimedia handset applications, but also for use as a non-volatile buffer in hybrid hard disks, and for other data computing applications. OneNAND memory is now available with up to 2Gb capacity using 60nm production technology. That will be expanded to 4Gb at 50nm in 2007.
