Intel, Micron Boost Flash Memory Speed by Five Times

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the fastest-draw-in-the-valley dept.

Lucas123 writes "IM Flash Technologies, a joint venture between Intel and Micron, announced they've been able to improve NAND memory and its circuitry in order to boost read/write speeds by five times their current ability. The new 8Gbit single-level cell, high-speed NAND chip will offer 200MB/sec read speeds and write speeds of up to 100MB/sec, which means faster data transfer between devices like solid-state drives and video cards. IM Flash Technologies plans to begin shipping the new chip later this year."

    That's great, it'll be like Rambus. We all remember how great that was.

    Most flash cards have a seek time of 10 ms.... It would be nice if you could get big flash cards with very low seek times..
