DIGITIMES said Intel has gained a seat on the board of the Multimedia Card Association, leaving AMD to watch its rival wield influence in the NAND flash market.

The web site of the MMC Association lists a number of members but AMD isn't on the list.

The Associations avowed aim is to define the physical, functional and interface specs of MMCs.

But Intel and Kingston will be soon, said Digitimes. It said four firms wanted to jump into the seats but didn't say which two lost out. It suggested Intel and Micron want to tie up on flash production. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
