Now this is why I love technology so much; you have to expect the unexpected and new amazing innovations just appear out of nowhere.
Hynix has just developed the world’s first MCP(Multi Chip Package) Nand Flash memory chips which are capable of storing up to 384 Gigabytes of data in a SD card size Package – more than enough space to store loads of high definition movies and your favourite music in that space.
What’s special about the new NAND technology?
The new technology uses 24 ultra thin stacked NAND flash memory chips with size of 1.4 mm only which has made possible to store upto 48 GB of storage space allowing your portables to store up to 10,000 music files in a SD card size MCP.
How the magical 384 GB of space could be achieved
Hynix is aiming at developing Multi chip package with 28 ultra thin Stacked NAND chips in the coming years which will make it possible to have 384 GB of space that is way too much for any movie buffs and music lovers.
If you are wondering what Multi chip package is then MCP is a process in which Flash memory and SRAM(Static RAM) is combined to produce a single 1.4 mm package which is a industry standard for now.
Hynix is the third largest NAND chip maker after Samsung and Toshiba and has big plans for the NAND chip market. The growing competition among the chipmakers would definitely benefit the end users,we will definitely get to see more such cool technologies and innovations. No release date for the planned 28 stacked MCP version is available yet.
