PR from AMD re: their Flash technology AMD Targets $1 Per MB Flash Memory (12/07/98, 5:29 p.m. ET) By Staff, Semiconductor Business News Advanced Micro Devices announced Monday the development of an advanced NAND-based flash-memory technology to pursue mass-storage applications. AMD said its technology provides a higher level of reliability that lets NAND flash be used for code storage. AMD, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., said its UltraNAND technology combines a smaller cell size with a simplified manufacturing process to offer the highest densities at a lower cost per bit over standard NOR or multi-level cell NOR flash devices. Subsequently, AMD expects the technology to break the $1-per-megabyte price barrier in the year 2000. The first product using the UltraNAND technology will be a 64-megabit flash, designated Am30LV0064. Samples of the 64-Mb chip are now available with production slated to begin in the first quarter 1999. Pricing has been set at $18.85 each in quantities of 10,000. "AMD's UltraNAND technology is a breakthrough in comparison to other NAND technologies," said Walid Maghribi, group vice president of AMD's memory group. "It is the most reliable, cost-effective flash-memory technology for ultra-high density applications."
