The new semiconductor has 4 planes instead of 2 layers as usual. This helps read / write more cells in parallel, providing greater bandwidth and resulting in faster overall speeds for the entire system.
'The commercialization of 1Tb 4bits / cell is an important milestone in NVM's history, thanks to many innovations in technology and design aimed at bringing more possibilities for Floating Gate 3D NAND' technology, RV Giridhar, deputy Intel said.
Whether cloud applications and data centers will benefit the most from this new technology, users will also benefit. Reducing costs when increasing storage density will help reduce overall costs, though it will take time before market launches.
