New Samsung Flash Memory Chip is 80 Percent Faster
By
Samsung Electronics has started mass producing flash memory chips that both hold more data and work at higher speeds than competing chips, it said on Sunday.
The new chips, each of which can hold 2GB of data, will likely increase competition in the already highly competitive flash market and maintain the pressure that has seen chip prices fall by more than half in the last year. The read speed has been increased from 17MBps to 30MBps for high capacity cards and the write speed is almost doubled from 4.4MBps to 8MBps, said Samsung.
