Highest-performing MMC Cards, for Portable Applications
Samsung Press Release Summary:
Seoul, Korea - July 27, 2006: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the
world leader in advanced memory technology, announced today that
it has developed the industry's highest density MMC card
(popular removable MultiMediaCard for portable electronics)
based on its most advanced MLC (multi-level cell) NAND flash
memory. It also has developed the highest performing MMC card,
based on SLC (single-level cell) NAND flash, in rounding out its
large portfolio of MMC memories. With added density and higher
performance, the new Samsung MMCplusTM cards are designed to
greatly enhance user convenience for a variety of mobile
applications.
Based on Samsung's 8-gigabit (Gb) NAND flash memory, the MMCplus
card will be introduced with an 8-gigabyte (GB) density,
allowing it to store 2,000 MP3 music files or eight hours of
DVD-quality movies. The 8GB card will be part of a full line up
of MLC-based MMCplus cards that also will include 1GB, 2GB, and
4GB offerings.
Samsung also is introducing a separate card advancement: a
higher performance MMC that more than triples the performance of
conventional small-form-factor memory cards. The higher
performance version makes use of SLC NAND flash memory,
providing a read-speed of 40Mbytes/s and a write-speed of
25Mbytes/s. The advanced MMCplus card can save six MP3 songs per
second, or two hours of DVD-quality movies in less than a
minute. The high-performance card will be available in two
variations: a 1GB and a 2GB density.
Samsung's new high-density and high-performance MMCplus cards
are expected to be available in the second half of this year.
According to market research firm, Semico Research, the
worldwide high-density memory card market is expected to show
substantial growth from 115 million units in 2006 to 750 million
units by 2009.
