Intel moves Flash to .13u

TAIPEI, Oct 23, 2001 (AFXAsia via COMTEX) Intel Corp said it has launched a flash memory chip built on 0.13micron process technology.

The new flash memory chip is nearly 50 pct smaller and consumes less power than its 0.18micron predecessor, making it ideal for cellular phones, settop boxes and other electronics equipment where small form factors and low power are critical requirements, it said.

The Intel 3 Volt Advanced+ Boot Block flash memory chip announced today is part of a family of Advanced Boot Block flash memory products, and will be available in 32and 64Mbit densities, it said.

The 32Mbit chip has now released samples and will be in production in the second quarter next year, while the 64Mbit chip will be in production in late 2002, it added.

Brian - Re: ""If it weren't for the recent terrorist attacks in the US, we would probably be announcing a recovery for the industry right now," said Jason Chen (³¯«T¸t), head of Intel's Asia Pacific operations, during an interview at the Intel Developer Forum in Taipei. He also said that demand for the flash-memory chips used in mobile phones was also on the rise.
Demand for Pentium4s and 845 chipsets, a component that allows the use of SDRAM memory chips instead of the more expensive Rambus memory, have been so brisk that the company will have trouble meeting its orders over the next few months, the executive said. He expects bottlenecks throughout the fourth quarter."

Thanks for the article.

It's the most positive piece of business news on Intel I have seen in many months.
