    Toshiba has set a new world record in flash memory. The company has released the world's first chip for smartphones and mp3 players with a capacity of 128 GB. Built on a 32-nanometer process, the chip contains sixteen 8-gigabyte NAND layers - that's twice as much as its predecessor. The thickness of the chip does not exceed 1.5 mm. According to the developers, the 128-gigabyte chip will allow storing almost 17 hours of video in 1080p resolution. Pilot samples of the microcircuit will appear by September, mass production will begin in the fall.

    Interestingly, the pilot versions of the 64 GB chip created using a similar process will appear in August, but the chips will go into mass production at the same time. The company did not name the customer of the chips, but it is no secret that today Apple is one of the largest consumers of flash memory. Toshiba memory is installed in the iPhone, iPod and SSD-drives for "poppies". Toshiba itself uses the flash memory of its production in laptops.
