| Micron Offers Industry’s First High Speed NAND Product Micron Technology announces that it is the first company to sample an 8 gigabit single-level cell (SLC) high speed NAND product. High speed NAND enables data to be transferred in a fraction of the time compared to conventional NAND. SLC high speed NAND can read data at speeds up to 200 megabytes per second (MB/s) and can write data at speeds up to 100 MB/s, achieved by leveraging the new ONFI 2.0 specification and a four plane architecture with higher clock speeds. In comparison, conventional SLC NAND is limited to 40 MB/s for reading data and less than 20 MB/s for writing data. Designed on the 50-nanometer process node, Micron's 8 Gb SLC high speed NAND component is sampling now to major OEMs and controller manufacturers with mass production expected to commence in the second half of 2008. The company also expects to unveil future ONFI 2.0-derived NAND products in the next year. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
