Fed up with running out of memory in your smartphone/tablet/[insert device here], well, Toshiba has announced that it's getting ready to solve that little problem with a range of new eMMC memory devices. The new chips will range from two to 128GB in size, so expect to see plenty more storage memory in next year's mobile devices.

The new 24nm chips packs double data rate NAND Flash which means vastly improved performance compared to most current eMMC options in the market. Toshiba's current 32nm eMMC products support write speeds of up to 21MB/s and read speeds of up to 55MB/s, although there's no mention of actual speed of the new chips, except that they'll be faster. Toshiba claims that its 24nm manufacturing process also lowers the cost which sounds great, at least as long as these cost savings makes it all the way to the consumer. The 24nm manufacturing process also means smaller chip packages which should appeal especially to the mobile handset makers who are always striving on putting in as much electronics in as small a place as possible.
