Array-based flash memory could enable 1TB memory chips

Filed under:



The alphabet soup of different flash memory technologies is already a little bewildering, but it looks like the latest entrant could end up being the most promising of all, with single chip storage capacities of 1TB expected within ten years. Called array-based memory, the tech has been under development at a company called Nanochip, Inc. for nearly 12 years, and it looks like the the first working samples will go out next year. Although those first prototypes will have storage roughly equivalent to NAND flash at tens of gigs per circuit, the plan is to rapidly scale up to 100s of gigs and finally to 1TB on a single chip. Because the chips can be manufactured using conventional fabs and aren't subject to the same manufacturing constraints as traditional flash, they may also end up being far cheaper per gigabyte. The company is being funded by a number of prominent tech giants, including Intel, and says the tech can be used to improve everything from USB keys to SSDs to enterprise-grade servers -- wait, bigger, cheaper, and potentially better? Yeah, sign us up.

Phase One宣佈推出645中幅相機

Filed under:



無 論Phase One發表什麼產品,總能讓攝影朋友們興奮好一陣子。最近他們就拿出了非主流的645相機(說Mamiya 645AFDIII知道的人更多一些吧)。作為全球最靈活、最開放的中幅數位相機平台,可以搭配一大把高階鏡頭(Mamiya 645家族,Hasselblad V-lenses,Pentacon Six lenses),快門速度1/4000秒~60分。 雖說預製版已經在本週的Photo Imaging Expo上現身,我們還是要等到Q2才能看到完整的技術規格。
