@Pam I could imagine, that you have to revise all your past posts here. " Do these MirrorBit Quad products exist today, even in the labs? " 90nm yes, you could be sure, that with new 65nm production stuff available, these will appear in a short period of time. " Do you know what 4-MLC means? It is not 4 b/c, as you are thinking, it is 4 levels, which means it is 2 b/c regular, vanilla MLC! " Its amazing, that you know, what I think. 2b/c is common NAND tech. and we haven't seen any other stuff in prod. " So you are comparing Oranges to Apples! " Really? I have compared 65nm SPSN stuff, which will appear in a short period of time with existing ABSOLUTE HIGH END NAND stuff. The result was clear. Hard to believe for you - thats what I expected. BUGGI

Pam, Do these MirrorBit Quad products exist today, even in the labs? Do you know what 4-MLC means? It is not 4 b/c, as you are thinking, it is 4 voltage levels, which means it is 2 b/c regular, vanilla MLC! So you are comparing Oranges to Apples! I think Buggi's post is pretty much consistent with what I wrote recently: 4bit ORNAND < 2 bit (MLC) NAND < 2 bit (Mirrorbit) NOR < 1 bit NAND < 1 bit NOR Message 24227254 4bit ORNAND is still not really in full production (with full functionality, at the latest technology), but when it is, that's what the die sizes would look like.
