Micron to manufacture 8-bit nand olc memories per cell in 2019
Table of contents:

Micron is already working on the next generation of NAND Flash OLC memories, which will offer 8 NAND levels for higher data density.
Micron has in preparation the new NAND Flash OLC memories with 8 density levels
In May 2018, Micron launched four-tier NAND (QLC) technology and, surprisingly, its shares fell to price levels below $ 30. This was due to the complex cost levels of NAND memory and supply and demand factors, and not just the introduction of QLC technology. Now Micron intends to release its NAND Octa-Level (OLC) memories either in the first quarter or no later than the second quarter of 2019.
Micron has come out to deny this information, but Wccftech remains firm
However, Wccftech appears to have a new source confirming this information, claiming that a Micron partner has told them that they plan to announce NAND Flash OLC memories in the first half of 2019, thus reaffirming the veracity of the information.
Currently, the NAND Flash OLC memory was not even announced as such, so the source is not only revealing its existence but also its estimated release date.
Micron's NAND Flash OLC technology will offer 8 bits per cell for a 100% increase over QLC (per cell) and will be the first technology to feature essentially 1 byte per cell. This jump in density is something that will far exceed Moore's Law (assuming cell size does not increase too much) and will be a push for the industry and compel competition to come up with something similar. Increasing the data density while maintaining the same size should also improve SSD prices and see higher capacity solid drives.
