Something AMD will find out when they try to do MLC on Mirrorbit

While I share your take on Strataflash, Spansion will face other challenges for Quadbit. (However, from the tone of the following excerpt these are not necessarily smaller).

There is a potential to generate 4-bits per cell instead of 2-bits in some of the advance work attempted by Spansion for the ‘QuadBit’ product line. This variant of ‘ORNAND’ MirrorBit technology combines random access, high speed writes and reads, with low cost and high density that generates 4-bits per cell with only 4 levels of voltage sensing. (Sorry, no link).

I believe what you said previously about 16 states is accurate, though. Four voltage levels are enough to accomplish this, right?
