Samsung
unveiled a 64-gigabit NAND flash memory chip based on 30 nanometer technology designed to increase capacity without losing reliability and yet decrease the product's size.

This world first technology is part of a long line of similar achievements over the past 8 years, with memory density doubling every year since 1999.
