So says Taiwan report
Intel may have won an order from Google for its coming solid state drive (SSD) product according to Digitimes.
Google will use Marvell integrated circuit (IC) controllers and Intel's flash chips to build systems that have faster I/O than hard drive-based alternatives. It appears that Google is building its own systems rather than taking a complete flash SSD plus controller from Intel.
Intel boss Paul Otellini has vowed to fix Intel's flash business and a flagship customer win like this, if it is true, would certainly help.
