Samsung Unveils 64-Gbit Flash Memory Chip

Posted by kdawson on Thursday October 25, 2007 @02:32AM from the thanks-for-the-memories dept.

Lucas123 writes "The chips can be combined to create a 128-GB flash storage device capable of holding up to 80 DVD movies or 32,000 MP3 music files. The chip was created using 30-nanometer processing technology that was developed with Samsung's self-aligned double patterning technology. Manufacturing will start in 2009; but the article quotes a Gartner analyst who reminds us, 'Samsung has had a difficult time adhering to its timelines for mass production due to the complexity of MLC architectures and ever shrinking process geometries.'"

>> Who uses 32-bits anymore
Windows has 90% (give or take 5%) of the desktop market. Only a small percentage of Windows users have upgraded to Vista, and only about half of THOSE are using the 64 bit version. So to answer your question, very few. (Although it's hard to say for 2009, since I can't read the future :P)
