On: 3D-Stacked CMOS Takes Moore's Law to New Heights

[apples_oranges]

SSD layers: Do you mean each cell is storing around 100 different values or are cells layered on top of each other (each addressed separately etc.)?

[throwaway48476 → apples_oranges]

The cells are layered but each cell stores 4 bits in QLC.

[AnimalMuppet → throwaway48476]

QLC = "Quad Level Cell", if you're like me and didn't know that.

[d_tr → AnimalMuppet]

Which is a strange name and underselling it btw, since there are 16 levels...

[wtallis → d_tr]

16 possible voltage levels, but a given memory cell can only exist in one voltage state at a time. The number of bits per cell is what actually matters, even if the names we assign to those types are dumb.

[d_tr → wtallis]

Sure, I just said that "QLC" basically implies two bits.
