Intel and Numonyx Memory Research Breakthrough Could Solve SSD Memory Limitations: Page 2 of 2

Intel and Numonyx B.V. has achieved a research milestone with non-volatile cross point phase change memory (PCM) technology. The breakthrough potentially paves the way for highly scalable, high density memory products that may one day offer low cost, high performance alternatives to traditional NAND Flash and NOR memory employed in solid state drives (SSD).

"We're not talking about commercial and production milestones today, but only an initial key research milestone," said Fazio. "That milestone is that we have been able to demonstrate both yield and scalability in a PCM multi-layer megabit array. The technology must still compete against other established memory technologies with large economies of scale. This takes time to overcome."
