IMFT, an Intel/Micron joint venture, announced they are sampling flash memory produced on their next-generation, 25nm production process. This latest shrink enables Intel to reach densities of 8 gigabytes per chip, reducing chip count for larger SSD’s and other memory devices.
The IMFT joint venture was formed in 2006, with a 50nm production process. This is the third generation of their production process, after an earlier move to 34nm. Mass production of the new 25nm parts is expected to start in the second quarter, and the new chips will probably power the 3rd generation of Intel’s X-25M SSD expected in Q4 of this year with capacities up to 600GB.
