Samsung today introduced a new embedded storage chip for smartphones and tablets. The 64GB eMMC Pro Class 2000 multimedia card uses Samsung's 10 nanometer process. Samsung says the new chip is a significant improvement over its predecessor in a number of ways. It has read and write speeds of 260Mbps and 50Mbps, respectively, giving it a 30% performance boost compared to the previous generation. The card measures 11.5mm by 13mm, which is 20% smaller than the previous generation. Last, Samsung is able to manufacture the memory card at a 30% lower cost. Samsung says the memory card is ideal for slim devices that need to save space internally. The chip went into production in October.
