The Korean electronics giant unveiled an 8-gigabit flash memory chip Monday based on the 60-nanometer process, as well as a 2-gigabit DDR DRAM chip based on the 80-nanometer process. Flash chips, which retain data after a host computer is turned off, are used in flash cards and cell phones, while DDR DRAM is used inside PCs.

Both chips hold far more data than current chips in their respective markets and are smaller, which should make them cheaper and more powerful than existing chips. The flash chip is designed to let consumer electronics designers put up to 16 gigabytes of data on a single memory card. That 16GBs of memory translates into storage of up to 16 hours of DVD-quality video or 4,000 MP3 audio files (at 5 minutes per song). Current flash cards max out at 4GB.
