Samsung has unveiled their 90nm smart card. This device has a high storage capacity for SIM cards, has a proprietary 16-bit CalmRISC processor with 16.5KB RAM, 384KB ROM, and a large capacity 288KB EEPROM. The 90nm chip for IC adopts an accelerator processor and on-chip support for symmetrical encryption/decryption standards(DES/ triple DES), an asymmetrical encryption standard(RSA) and an elliptic curve crypto(ECC) algorithm to provide users with the best security support possible, shortening user verification time by the tens and reinforcing protection against forgery or hacking. This, of course is a step in the right direction. Samsung, eager to release two more versions, announced that they have a couple lower-density versions. They have a 144KB embedded EEPROM SIM card IC in 90nm process technology.
Samsung also introduced two new lower-density versions; a 72KB and a 144KB- embedded EEPROM SIM card IC in 90nm process technology.
Things just keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller. That also goes without saying they are getting twice as powerful each time you do make them smaller. Samsung has done a great job in both. With a chip the size of 90nm, Samsung has achievement quite bit and I haven’t even seen Sony or any of the other main stream companies dab in.
Meanwhile, their stock just keeps going up up and up. If they keep producing like this we can see some shifts in the stock exchange in the next year or so. I honestly like to see what Samsung can do next. Bring in on Samsung, we are all watching.
