Samsung opens door to 900-layer 3D NAND

What happened

Samsung has developed a 900-layer 3D NAND die by stacking two 450-layer strings, significantly outpacing competitors who are currently at 192-321 layers. This R&D milestone, coming alongside plans for 400-layer mass production this year, indicates a major leap in density. 利空: The technology gap suggests future cost reductions and capacity increases, pressuring competitors to accelerate their own roadmap.
