Toshiba announces 16GB flash memory chip

Donald Bell, CNET.com  |  Apr 18, 2007

Toshiba announced today that they have created a 16GB flash memory chip intended for consumer products such as cell phones and MP3 players.

This is the highest capacity NAND flash memory chip to date, doubling the existing ceiling of 8GB. The 16GB chip is set to ship in the Fall of this year (just in time to make Apple's flash memory-based 8GB iPhone seem cramped).

The chip is designed around eight 2GB chips and boasts a copy speed of 6 MB/sec, with a 15 MB/sec read speed. Expect a wave of tiny 16GB flash MP3 players for the holidays.
