(Press Release) Intel Corporation has introduced a new flash memory chip designed to enhance the performance of cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other wireless devices. The 3 Volt Synchronous Intel StrataFlash Memory is up to four times faster than traditional flash memory, making it the best value for executing code and storing data in handheld devices. Manufactured on the cost-effective 0.18-micron process technology, the new chip represents the third generation of Intel's multi-level cell (MLC) technology that allows twice the amount of data to be stored in a single memory cell. Introduced by Intel in 1997, Intel StrataFlash memory offers a cost-effective, single-chip solution for code execution and data storage, and is the most widely used and proven MLC product on the market.

Weekly CPU Prices: With processor prices already low and AMD showing some bruises that can at least partly be attributed to this extended price war, it's understandable that prices have stabilized. There are rumors, though, of another upcoming price slashing session from Intel in the next month (when are there not?). In watching this seeming Limbo Dance of prices, it will be interesting to see just how low each company can go.
