SanDisk has just released a range of optimized iNAND eMMCs. MMC stands for MultiMediaCard and eMMC is the variety of MMC that puts the MMC components (flash memory plus controller) into a small ball grid array (BGA) package. They are used as an embedded non-volatile memory system in circuit boards.

The SanDisk iNAND Extreme is actually a combination of NAND and eMMC controller in a single chip.

It relies on SanDisk 19nm MLC NAND Flash technology and the eMMC 4.51 (HS200) standard for capacities of up to 128 GB via 16 stacked 64 Gb chips on a single die.

SanDisk made the iNAND Extreme for tablets designed with Intel's latest Bay Trail Atom processors. The sustained performance is of 150/45MBps read/write and 4KB random read/write speeds of up to 4K/800 IOPS (sustained, not peak).
