Samsung has once again shown the world who’s the leading memory circuit manufacturer by announcing that it is now shipping the first 8GB NAND memory circuits to home electronics manufacturers. The new 8GB chip consists of four 16Gb flash memory circuits made with a 50nm process, these have been paired with a MultiMediaCard controller with belonging firmware. The final chip can be integrated into mobile phones or other mobile devices thus resulting in a massive storage capacity, but it’s also possible to use the chip with external memory cards. Samsung’s new chip will make it possible to fit even more storage inside mobile devices and it’s most likely just a matter of time before we will see products with the new memory chip.
“While providing twice the capacity and provides double the performance of the 4GB version, Samsung’s moviNAND is 10-20 percent smaller than other flash-based embedded memory card solutions. The new moviNAND also processes data at 52 megabytes per second, using the industry’s fastest multimedia card interface.”
