Samsung Electronics on Aug. 9 introduced a 1-terabit V-NAND chip, which aims to meet growing market demand and technological developments.
“The arrival of a 1Tb V-NAND chip next year will enable 2 terabytes of memory in a single V-NAND package by stacking 1 Tb dies and will represent one of the most important memory advances of the past decade,” the company said.
Samsung said the V-NAND technology is significant as it overcomes the limits of the previous 2-D NAND technology in terms of capacity through a vertical design.
“With the rapid increase of data-intensive applications across many industries using artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies, the role of flash memory has become extremely critical in accelerating the speed at which information can be extracted for real-time analysis,” the company added.
Samsung also showcased Next Generation Small Form Factor SSD, which can significantly improve storage capacity.
