The global leader in flash memory, Samsung has just introduced new storage chips with 128 GB of space. Less efficient than the Galaxy S6, they are no less interesting because very economical.
The mid-range, the smartphone storage space is typically blocked for 16 or 32 GB. Very rarely, manufacturers amounted to 64 GB. And never to 128 GB had capacity still reserved for the high end. But that could change soon. Samsung, the main flash memory manufacturer (that used to smartphones, but also tablets and ultrabooks like the MacBook Air), has just introduced a component for manufacturers covering economic segments and precisely with this storage capacity.
This is a memory chip based on the technology eMMC 5.0, that is to say, the standard that team all the mid-range (premium smartphones already in transit to the UFS 2.0 or eMMC 5.1, which stand by rate faster transfers, including writing). The performance announced by Samsung is clearly off the chip unveiled by the Korean group in February.
The read rate of 260 MB / s, the same rate as the eMMC 5.1 solutions cheapest. However, it is the most complex operations such components losing ground. These blocks are capable of 6000 IOPS read and 5,000 IOPS write. For the fewer techs savvy, IOPS is the acronym for inbound operations / outgoing per second. In comparison, a UFS 2.0 chip (such as which team the Galaxy S6) is capable of achieving 19,000 IOPS read and 14,000 IOPS write. And eMMC 5.1 chips achieve 13000 IOPS read and 11,000 IOPS write.
However, the performance of these new products are good, especially vis-à-vis what exists today. And they will be more than sufficient to support display multiple applications open on an OS such as Android and HD video. All at a price that should be relatively good, especially vis-à-vis solutions eMMC 5.1 and UFS 2.0. The samples are already available. It only needs to find manufacturers concerned. Maybe Samsung will it be the first?
