Petz, Re: "Intel will have to license this technology or drop out of the flash market, IMO. There is no way on earth that a reliable 16-level cell (4 bits) can be made" And why not?? I don't believe you are an expert in this field, so why should your opinion count for anything? The need for better products drives innovation. That's how AMD (edit: actually Saifun, apparently) was able to come up with a completely new way to design multi-bit memory products in the first place, after having been behind Intel for the past several years. Meanwhile, despite not having a competitively dense product line during that time, AMD was able to stay in the flash business, along with all the other flash manufacturers out there, that also didn't have multi-bit flash technologies. Yet now that AMD has multi-bit flash, you believe that the rest of the industry is uncompetitive without it, and consequently unable to stay in the business. What typical AMDroid logic. wbmw
