Intel’s NOR, which is mostly used in cell phones, currently is produced using its larger 90-nanometer manufacturing node. But at 65-nm, the company said it can boost performance by as much as twofold so that users can store twice as much on their cell phones as they can today.
Our 65nm process technology will improve flash performance to enable the next generation of handsets that deliver new and enhanced capabilities for end-users, said VP of Intel’s Flash Memory Group Brian Harrison, in a statement.
The 65-nm flash will be available to OEMs late in the second quarter. Intel currently is using its 65-nm node for mobile, desktop, server and embedded processors.
