Re: Hynix 20 nm with new controller: Sounds like MLC, not SLC or TLC. SLC would not be competitive in a 64 gb capacity, even with 20 nm technology. TLC would certainly be competitive, but I doubt that Hynix, even if it pays royalties, has the production know-how. The MLC alternative at 20 nm should be competitive for another year or two.
On the other hand, designing a special controller suggests that (1) it is necessary when you drop down to 20 nm, regardless of the technology, or (2) it is a way of working around proprietary controller technology held by SNDK and others for 3-bit and 4-bit per cell technology.
Any comments?
