14 DAY TRIAL // The more advanced a manufacturing node is, the faster and more power efficient semiconductors become, which is why all makers of NAND, DRAM and processing chips strive to advance as quickly as possible.
We've already seen Toshiba starting production of 19nm chips, and now we learn that SanDisk is doing the same.
The company has begun customer sampling of flash memory products based on the industry-leading 1Ynm process technology.
Which is to say, it is now asking for feedback in regard to the second-generation 19 nm manufacturing technology.
SanDisk didn't pull any punches, implementing its All-Bit-Line (ABL) architecture (proprietary programming algorithms and multi-level data storage management schemes) and three bits per cell X3 technology.
The company believes its 19nm node can deliver the lowest-cost flash solutions (SSDs, memory cards, embedded storage).
