SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics said Tuesday it has begun mass production of the world's most advanced, 286-layer NAND flash memory chips with expanded data storage capacity.
The ninth-generation 3D NAND memory will be used in artificial intelligence data centers, as well as in smartphones. Large U.S. tech companies such as Google and Apple are believed be the main clients, and Samsung already is shipping samples.
