Bill, thanks for the info. It's sort of what Pravin was saying, isn't it? That AMD's multi-bit flash is better suited for the automotive industry, where high temperature reliability is an important thing for ICs to have. The only problem is that automobiles don't require high density flash devices, which is where multi-bit flash is being aimed. Not like cell phones or PDAs, which are moving towards very high density devices to enable Internet access, video, etc. And for cell phones and PDAs, except for the rare occurrence that the user leaves their device on the dash of their car that was left in the sun on a hot day in the middle of the desert, high temperature resistance isn't a main selling feature. wbmw
