Intel and Micron has geared up their NAND development, and both companies have announced that they’ve achieved the 20nm manufacturing process, when last year both only started 25nm flash production. The impressive 20nm process is capable to create an 6GB MLC NAND chip that measures only 118mm² and allows for a 30 to 40 percent reduction in board space. Of course, those 8GB chips can also be combined for far more storage, so you can count on seeing even higher capacity phones, tablets and SSDs sometime after production kicks off in the in second half of 2011. At that point, Intel and Micron also plan to show off a 16GB device that promises to allow for 128GB of storage in a solid-state storage solution smaller than a postage stamp. Bizarre? No sir, this is Moore’s Law, and soon we will have a 1TB HDD the size of one of your hair.
