Samsung Develops World's Fastest Embedded Memory With eMMC 5.0 Support

Posted by timothy on from the taste-just-like-the-others dept.

hypnosec writes "Samsung has announced the world's fastest NAND memory that supports the eMMC 5.0 standard. The new memory chips are based on 10nm class NAND flash technology and feature an interface speed of 400MB/s. Further, the 32GB and 64GB densities have a random read and write speed of 7,000 IOPS (inputs/outputs per second) while the sequential read and write speeds stand at 250MB/s and 90MB/s respectively. The chips will provide for better multitasking, HD video recording, gaming and browsing."

    And how many write cycles? HOW MANY CYCLES?

    Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal number of I/O operations per second in the mobile arena. Based on this article's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

    It won't provide for faster anything I do on my computer, because I already have faster chips in my desktop.

    I'm pretty sure that you do not have faster flash chips in your desktop.

    What you have is a faster array of flash chips, a combination that only exceeds the performance here when they operate in parallel.

    Now imagine these 10nm chips in an array....

    It is about 0% faster for reads than just-released products, while about -50% faster for writes and -70% faster for IOPS.

    That doesnt seem to be true. Those produces use many chips to attain their (essentially they are a RAID-0 of many flash chips) , while this is a single chip.
