Samsung Memory Modules

Samsung has developed a way to stack 60% more memory on a single chip. They achieved this by improving their chip sawing and wafer thinning solutions. The new process is now based on a 30μm design as opposed to the previous 45μm design. For those who enjoy their flash-based memory modules, this means there will be 16 flash chips on a single multi-chip package. Previously, the highest density of flash chips on a single multi-chip package was 10.

Will this new development make flash more attractive to the public?

I think that, as with most new technology, most people will see it as another form of money waste. Only after there are substantial reviews about the product(s) in question, will they buy it. I personally think that if we can make more space in less, go for it.

Perhaps...it all depends what ppl are looking at. Smaller space and more memory is always more attractive...why do you think ppl like the I-pod nano?
Small device holding large amount of music...of course the publik measures everything in how many songs it can hold lol

As far as iPods go; I'm sure the average moron will love it. However, there are many other uses for flash. DVD players (HD-DVD/BLU-RAY) can make use of flash memory by using a flash harddrive instead of a conventional one. In the coming years that may appeal to the public.

You have a point, but that is only gonna happen after a while.

As all things do eh Jess? But yeah, did I meantion they also have hybrid hard drives that already use Flash Memory for redundancy? So that's a current development.
