IM Flash Technologies, a NAND flash memory venture established by Intel and Micron, leaped ahead of rival Samsung this week by sampling a 50-nanometer manufacturing process that more efficiently delivers high density flash memory chips. Last week Samsung announced it had achieved manufacturing of its NAND flash memory chips with a 60-nanometer process. The 10 nanometer difference achieved by IM Flash will give Intel and Micron an edge, Semico Research analyst Jim Handy told TechNewsWorld.
