Samsung has started mass producing their 16GB Nand Flash memory chip which makes it the first company to ever do so! Samsung says it has used 51nm technology and chip sports a multi-level cell (MLC) structure.

“In rolling out the densest Nand Flash in the world, we are throwing open the gates to a much wider playing field for Flash-driven consumer electronics,” said Jim Elliott, director of Flash marketing at Samsung Semiconductor.

“Technology migration to 16GB is expected to boost the recent explosive demand for high-density data storage in high-end music phones and the phenomenal trend toward user created content,” the company said in a statement.

“As the demand for video content grows stronger by the day, products that feature extended recording time of high-resolution video footage, including mid- to high-range digital cameras, will particularly benefit from the high capacity and performance of 16GB Nand Flash memory.”
