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.

Intel and Numonyx have just announced that they have achieved an important breakthrough in he production of Phase-Change Memory. This type of memory is one of the most promising new technologies currently being developed; like Flash memory it retains information when powered off, but provides faster write speeds and better durability. One of the problems so [...] Fudzilla has found documents that give details about an upcoming Solid State Drive from Intel. The drive is supposedly called the X25-X, and would be available before the holiday shopping season starts in a 2.5 inch 40GB unit. It’s based on MLC flash, leading to a 35MB/s write speed. Read performance should be better with [...] During the Intel Developer Forum, Intel hasn’t limited itself to showing off their latest chipsets and CPU’s; PCWorld France reports about a demo from Intel that was running seven PCI-Express Solid State Drives, reaching (as far as I can decipher the French) a million I/O’s per second. Intel PCI Express flash drive prototype LSI is showcasing their first storage controller supporting SR-IOV technology at the Intel Developer Forum. If you’d like to have a look, stop by booth #517. SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) is a technology that speeds up virtualization by enabling a controller to appear as a physical device in more than one virtual machine. By pushing [...] When Intel ships a new generation of SSDs that have a data corruption issue, it makes headlines around the world; but somehow I never saw reports about the firmware update they released shortly after that which fixes this.
