Macronix begins producing 3D Nand flash memory in 2020

A new report confirmed that the Taiwanese Macronix company will start producing advanced and expensive flash memory Macronix in the coming year 2020, and specifically in the second half of the year, and the company has designed this technology internally.

The president of the company, Miin Wu, disclosed this news during a celebration conference marking the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the company, 

and the first generation of these memory chips will use 48 layers, while 3D-Nand memory will be produced with 96 layers in 2021,

 and 192 layers in 2022. And some technical sources believed that this technology will be used in the memory units designated for the Nintendo Switch hybrid tapes of the Japanese company Nintendo,

 which is one of the most important Macronx customers, but this is not the case, as the switches use another technology of readable tapes called XtraROM, which is long-term.
