AMD today announced it has been sampling the company?s first MirrorBit Flash memory device. General availability of the 64 Megabit product is scheduled for the end of this quarter. MirrorBit technology is a breakthrough that allows a Flash memory device to hold twice as much data as standard Flash without compromising device endurance, performance or reliability.
The company is on schedule to deliver 128 Megabit and 256 Megabit devices in the second half of the year. The MirrorBit architecture uses a true multi-bit Flash memory cell that delivers the same high levels of performance and reliability as standard NOR Flash. NOR Flash is commonly used to store and execute operating system software for many of the world?s electronic devices. MirrorBit technology allows for the lowest cost production of ultra-high density NOR Flash devices. MirrorBit Flash memory devices enable customers to develop advanced products such as cell phones, personal digital assistants, car PCs, telecommunications equipment, and TV set-top boxes that offer higher levels of features and functionality.
