Interesting how e.Digitals tech is only limited by the speed of a device and had a previous relationship with Intel.

Intels base of flash is/was NOR, yet e.Digital had the ability then utilizing their logic environment to make the writes fast enough for their voice recorder platform. NOR, physically structured at the single byte , has an inherent slow write with a fast read.....e.Digital made it work.

e.Digital prefers the NAND matrix, for it is devised at a sector(multiple bytes) or read/write block. NAND, physically structured at the multiple byte , has an inherent fast write with a slow read.....e.Digital made it work.

e.Digitals methods make up the shortfalls of each type. However, where the concern is, is in creating density on each type. NAND is cheaper in gaining density so that is the way the industry will move.

Intel and Micron only recently started their concern for NAND memory components. How is it that they are the first to achieve new levels of speed through clocking with regard to it?

I had wondered for some time when we would be seeing new speed achievements of the NAND Flash memory architectures. Seeing Intel as giving the first glimpse is a bonus noting our past relationship.
