The 34nm 32-gigabit chip is manufactured on 300mm wafers and has 1.6TB of memory for enhanced storage capacity in small form-factor applications. The company said a single chip can store 2,000 digital photos and hold up to 1,000 songs on a personal music player.
Pete Hazen, director of marketing at Intel NAND products, said: These advancements will expand the value proposition and accelerate the adoption of solid-state drive (SSD) solutions in computing platforms.
The chip is also available in a two eight-die stacked package to deliver 64GB of storage. The JV also plans to introduce lower-density multi-level and single-level cell products by the end of the year.
