Intel is starting to produce 34nm MLC NAND storage with the help of Micron, well ahead of schedule.  They’re so far ahead that it looks like about half of their production will be on the 34nm process by the end of the year.  Expect to see higher capacity SSDs arriving thanks to this, as well as increased storage in cameras and MP3 players.  More at The Inquirer.

“INTEL AND MICRON have today announced mass production of their jointly developed 34nm, 32 gigabit multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory device.

Developed and manufactured by the companies’ NAND flash joint venture, IM Flash Technologies (IMFT), the process technology is the most advanced process available on the market and enables the industry’s only monolithic 32 Gb NAND chip that fits into a standard 48-lead thin small-outline package (TSOP).”
