Intel First With 65nm NOR Flash Memory Chips

Intel Corporation is the first to sample NOR multi-level cell flash memory chips at 1-gigabit density using its advanced 65-nanometer (nm) process technology. Intel’s NOR Flash memory chips are used in devices such as cell phones to manage critical phone operations, handle Personal Information Management data and to store photos, music and videos.

Intel’s handset OEM customers will benefit from a common flash architecture that will simplify the migration from 90nm to 65nm process technology.

Samples will be available to customers late in the second quarter 2006.
