Intel's NOR Flash memory chips are used in devices such as cell phones to manage critical phone operations, handle Personal Information Management data and to store photos, music and videos. Intel's handset OEM customers will benefit from a common flash architecture that will simplify the migration from 90nm to 65nm process technology."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060405-Intel.gif" /><br /><br />Intel's 65nm process technology will soon make its way to mobile devices via new 65nm NOR flash memory chips. With increased transistor density, we may soon see a new wave of Pocket PCs and Smartphones boasting higher performance and lower power consumption.
