Develop technology to greatly raise the recording capacity of Intel, SSD, etc.

Intel and Micron have developed technology to greatly increase the recording capacity of flash memory products such as SSD.

By using this technology, the cost performance of SSD is likely to improve.

Details are as below.

According to this article, Intel and Micron announced that they jointly developed technology to increase the capacity of flash memory.

The newly developed technology can record multiple data instead of recording 1 bit of data in the flash memory cellMLC (multi-level cell) methodThe conventional technology is to record three bits of data at the point where 2 bits of data are recorded in one cell.

This is a newly developed flash memory


With this technology, data can be recorded at 1.5 times higher density than in the past, so it is expected that cost performance will dramatically improve, and furthermore in future flash memoryManufacturing processFrom the current 34 nanometer to the 20 nanometer range will not only reduce the manufacturing cost and power consumption but will also be able to mount more chips in the same area, so it will be higher in the future It seems that SSD combining cost performance and large capacity appears.
