Micron and Intel are expected to announce 25nm NAND flash memory technology on Monday. The companies are apparently already sampling a 25nm 8GB device; mass production is expected in 1H this year. Current NAND flash devices are based on 34nm flash, which was introduced in 2008.
Using a 25nm process, an 8GB chip is smaller than a penny and can be used in basically anything that uses flash memory (cell phones, MP3 players, flash drives, memory cards, and so on). In addition, moving to 25nm NAND flash from 34nm will yield a reduction in cost since more dies can be product out of a single silicon wafer.
