Not many days ago, I brought you the SanDisk iNAND Extreme embedded flash memory card, and said that it was optimized for Intel's Bay Trail platform. Now, the next step has been taken.

Granted, said step may have already been taken at the time, but it's only now that I learn of it.

Basically, the SanDisk iNAND Extreme eMMC solid-state memory card is already shipping to makers of Windows 8 and Android tablets based on the Intel's 22nm Atom CPU.

They are just samples though. To allow those companies to know exactly what the card can do and how they should integrate it in their blueprints.

For those who want a short spec rundown, the iNAND Extreme comes in up to 128 GB capacity and works at 800/4K IOPS random performance and 45/150 MB/s sustained write/read speeds.
