This is the chip that could feature in the world’s largest SSD — Kioxia launches 2Tb NAND chip and key partner Pure Storage may use it in its 150TB SSD DirectFlash modules
Technology tamfitronics Japanese memory giant Kioxia says it has begun sampling shipments of 2Tb QLC devices, utilizing its eighth-generation BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory technology.This new chip will be used in SSDs, servers, and other forms of digital storage hardware that require high-capacity, high-efficiency memory components.Kioxia's BiCS FLASH technology expands the memory die vertically and laterally, while the integration of CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology supports denser memory creation and interface speeds of up to 3.6Gbps. The new product features a bit density about 2.3 times higher than Kioxia's previous fifth-generation QLC device and 70% greater write power efficiency. With a 16-die stacked architecture in a single memory package, Kioxia says its new QLC device can achieve 4TB capacity.Pure Storage to adopt the technologyHideshi Miyajima, Chief Technology Officer of Kioxia, said, “With its...
TSMC unveils A16 technology, plans mass production by 2026
Technology tamfitronics On Wednesday, TSMC unveiled its A16 (1.6nm) technology for the first time at the 2024 North America Technology Symposium in California, with the Taiwan-based chip foundry announcing plans to begin mass-production with the new manufacturing process in 2026. TSMC claimed that its A16 technology will boost logic density and chip performance by combining advanced nanosheet transistors with backside power rail solutions. Compared to the N2P process, A16 offers an 8-10% increase in speed at the same operating voltage, a 15-20% reduction in power consumption at the same speed, and a density improvement of up to 1.1 times to support data center products, according to the company.
Scammers are swiping billions from Americans every year. Worse, most crooks are getting away with it
Technology tamfitronics The scammers are winning.Sophisticated overseas criminals are stealing tens of billions of dollars from Americans every year, a crime wave projected to get worse as the U.S. population ages and technology like AI makes it easier than ever to perpetrate fraud and get away with it.Internet and telephone scams have grown “exponentially,” overwhelming police and prosecutors who catch and convict relatively few of the perpetrators, said Kathy Stokes, director of fraud prevention at AARP’s Fraud Watch Network. Victims rarely get their money back, including older people who have lost life savings to romance scams, grandparent scams, technical support fraud and other common grifts.“We are at a crisis level in fraud in society,” Stokes said. “So many people have joined the fray because it is pretty easy to be a criminal. They don’t have...
