SAN FRANCISCO -- Intel s looking for a larger share of the computer memory marketplace and will double its 2005 product line to do it, the company said Wednesday.
The chipmaking giant said it is introducing several NOR flash memory products for the cellular and embedded markets. Intel said it is also adopting a new computer memory technology, called Fully-Buffered Dual In-Line Memory Module (FB-DIMM) for its first multi-core server platform for Xeon chips, code-named Bensley.
NOR (Not-Or) flash is a rewritable memory chip that holds its content without power. The memory, which Intel helped develop in 1988, is used in about 15 different memory applications, usually for PCs and other desktop hardware.
Sean Maloney, executive vice president and new general manager of Intel's mobility group, told the press Wednesday that Intel would not be producing NAND flash (Not-And), which is used in 40 assorted flash card applications such as storing music, video and other data.
