Worlds most powerful chip
AFP
Seoul: South Koreas Samsung Electronics said Tuesday
it has developed the worlds most powerful memory
chip, which could help create a card capable of
storing 80 DVD movies.
The company said it has developed the worlds first
64-gigabit NAND flash memory product, which it called
a major leap forward in flash storage.
The new memory chip is based on finer process
technology using circuit elements that are 30
nanometres wide. A nanometre is one-billionth of a
metre; a
human hair is about 80,000 nanometres across.
Up to 16 of the chips could be combined to make a
128GB memory card that would be also be able to store
32,000 MP3 music files. Samsung said that production
would begin in 2009.
This has the biggest storage capacity of a single
memory chip ever developed, said Kwon Hyosun, a
senior manager at Samsung.
Unlike dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips used
for personal computers, NAND memory chips can retain
and store information even when a devices
power is turned off.
