re: What is the difference between NOR and NAND and why doesn't Intel just make NAND if it's such a volume play? Very simply NOR is better for storing applications and NAND is better for storing data. I've been asking the same thing about Intel and NAND for 3-4 years... they say they don't have a proprietary advantage. Still, it's been a huge growth category with nice margins.
