Greg: I think this is a brand new annoucement and the Intel's press release quoted non other than Mr. Gordon Moore, Intel's Chairman Emeritus and the author of Moore's Law. <<FOLSOM, Calif., Sept. 17, 1997 - Nine years of flash memory industry leadership and over 400 million units shipped have culminated for Intel Corporation in a technology that will have a revolutionary impact on the flash memory market segment. Intel today announced a new class of flash memory products -- called Intel StrataFlashT memory. The Intel StrataFlash memory family of products stores multiple bits of information in each cell and can be used in classic as well as emerging applications. "Two bits in the space of one starts a new direction in memory technology," said Gordon Moore, Intel's chairman emeritus. "This will lead the way to lower cost and open up new applications." Historically in the memory industry, lithography scaling to smaller and smaller dimensions has driven cost and functionality improvements. Hence, each consecutive generation of flash components has sought to pack greater densities on smaller chips at lower cost. Over the past nine years, Intel has successfully decreased line widths from 1.5 microns in 1988 through successive generations down to 0.4 microns in 1997, while increasing the density from 256 Kbits in 1988 to 32 Megabits in 1997. While this progress has kept Intel at the forefront of flash memory technology, Intel StrataFlash technology products change the rules for the industry, immediately doubling the functionality at today's lithography levels - resulting in the first 64 Mbit flash device for both classic and emerging applications.>> Delivery is scheduled for the first and second quarter of 1998. And their pricing seems to be very aggresive! BTW, Dow Jones News flashed the annoucement with the headlines: "New chip promises faster computers" and "Could break Moore's Law" Karim
