As the artificial intelligence (AI) industry grows, a shortage in memory semiconductors centered on DRAM is emerging, while demand for NAND flash is also rising sharply, intensifying competition to ...

Check out more coverage of the 2022 Flash Memory Summit. Micron has started mass production of its most advanced triple-level-cell (TLC) 3D NAND chips made up of 232 layers of memory cells, pulling ...

3D Xpoint (pronounced "crosspoint") is designed in a 3D structure, like some of the cutting-edge 3D NAND we've discussed. Unlike NAND, however, 3D Xpoint doesn't use an electrical charge to store data ...

Within a few years, you’ll likely be carrying a smartphone, tablet or laptop with hundreds of gigabytes or even terabytes of hyper fast, non-volatile memory, thanks to two memory developments unveiled ...

While the Global Chip shortage due to the COVID-19 onset demand might be one reason for the increase in the price of computer parts, there is now another reason which will hike the price of the ...

Western Digital is set to buy its Japanese rival Kioxia for the substantial sum of $20m, according to the Wall Street Journal. Rumours have circulated since the start of the year that Kioxia is set to ...
