According to Intel’s roadmap, the company is planning to launch the 2xnm MLC based SSDs with a larger capacity in Q4 next year.

The current 34nm MLC based X25-M and X18-M using 50nm process technology will be phased out in Q3 next year, and in the following quarter we can expect something called Postville Refresh – 600/300/160GB drives built with 2xnm MLC chip. At the same time the Lyndonville will make its debut with 34nm MLC chip, and they will be available in capacities of 400/200/100GB.

Besides, the X25-V series for entry-level market is going to be updated to 2xnm at the end of next year, coming with a larger capacity of 80GB.
