Comments on: Intel flashes ahead to 1Gb memory

New NOR chip built with 65-nanometer manufacturing technology doubles the density of Intel's flash memory.

What NAND and NOR is, logically

for those who are not familiar with logic circuits, there are three basic functions... AND, OR, and NOT. In an AND, all inputs must be true for the output to be true. In an OR, only one input must be true for the output to be true. A NOT is simple change of true to false or false to true. When an AND and NOT are combined, it's refered to as a NAND (when all inputs are true, the output is false, or AND then NOT). A NOR circuit is an OR then NOT.

When you apply that to the memory, it's defining what type of logical circuit is used to comprise the core of the memory circuits and not what type of transistor or substrate materials are used in the manufacture.

I appreciate the fact you took the time to explain memory types to
the less technologically informed amongst us. I find it so annoying
(and perhaps condescending?) when a "news article" fails to do so.
