Seoul (AFP) Oct 23, 2007 South Korea's Samsung Electronics said Tuesday it has developed the world's most powerful memory chip, which could help create a memory card capable of storing 80 DVD movies. The company said in a statement it has developed the world's first 64-gigabit NAND flash memory product, which it called "a major leap forward" in flash storage. Up to 16 of the chips could be combined to make a 128-gigabyte memory card that would be able to store 80 DVD movies or 32,000 MP3 music files, it said, adding that production would begin in 2009. "This has the biggest storage capacity of a single memory chip ever developed in the world," Kwon Hyosun, a senior manager in Samsung Electronics's investor relations department, told AFP. Samsung said the new product would create a new 20-billion dollar market until 2011 by offering fresh applications for various multimedia items such as mobile handsets, digital cameras and MP3 players. Unlike dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips, the conventional memory chips used for personal computers, flash memory can retain and store information even when a device's power is turned off.
