Samsung is now mass-producing what it said is the world's fastest mobile memory, an embedded MultiMedia Card (eMMC) that comes in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB densities for next-generation smartphones and tablets.
Samsung's new eMMC Pro memory boasts an interface speed of 400MB/sec, an almost three-fold improvement over its current embedded memory.
The new eMMC Pro chips, which support the eMMC version 5.0 standard now nearing completion at JEDEC, will boost boot and application load times. The chips will enable much faster multi-tasking, web browsing, application downloading, and file transfers, as well as high-definition video capture and playback. They are also highly responsive to large-file gaming and productivity apps, according to Samsung.
"With timely mass production of our ultra-fast eMMC Pro line-up offering a more than 10X performance increase over external memory cards, Samsung will accelerate the spread of high-end mobile devices as the market for devices with larger screens and more multimedia functionality expands even further," KyongMoo Mang, vice president of memory marketing for Samsung, stated in a statement.
