athemoe · #2Ohdid you seen this already?micro sd cards, 2 Tera bytephotoshop?
drybones41 · #4photoshop?it's real :Phttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007796%20600006211&IsNodeId=1&name=Secure%20Digital%20Extended%20Capacity%20%28SDXC%29i bet that MICRO is the next step :P
sdcard.orghe next-generation SDXC memory card specification dramatically improves consumers’ digital lifestyles by increasing storage capacity from more than 32 GB up to 2 TB. Its exFAT file system handles large volumes of data. The specification for increasing bus interface, "UHS-I," with speeds up to 104 MB per second and a road map to 300 MB per second, and UHS Speed Class are available for SDXC cards and host devices. SDXC's extended capacity will provide more portable storage and speed, which are often required to support new features in consumer electronic devices, mobile devices and industrial devices
Tomoka · #1I do not understand how something that small, can do SO much! and also, how does something that small get above 220 degrees?!?! I think this needs to be discussed...like how are the above possible? And also, a lil off topic from what i want to ask..why can't you touch the back of them?The chip itself is even smaller. The ceramic casing on the top of the processing unit contains the chip proper; the pins and such are for interfacing and instructions. The entire chip is smaller than the size of your pinky fingernail and about as thin as a sheet of paper, if not thinner. And then on my processor that in turn contains four cores and a (relatively) large space for memory buffer.As for why it gets hot, it's a rule of electronics. The entire chip has a fair amount of resistance all up, and if current goes through resistance the extra energy is lost as heat. Considering that the chip handles billions and billions of operations per second, there's going to be significant heat buildup even if the overall energy lost as heat per operation is tiny.It manages to do all this due to a sort of photo etching process on a tiny silicon chip. I can't remember the specifics, but it's microarchitecture at its finest.
personuser · #9I don't know if current card readers can read SDXC. I think awhile back sandisk said you need to get a new external reader (or install a new internal one) for those.I really hope these get cheap then some type of flashcart is made for it. I'd have every rom on one little chip.
