Intel, Infineon Team for HD SIM cards

[HardOCP News]

At the Cartes trade show in Paris, Intel and Infineon announced plans to start sampling a high-density SIM card by 2H 2008 with volume production scheduled for 2009.

The collaboration will see Infineon's HD security microcontroller to be integrated with Intel's NOR flash memory technology ranging from 4MB to 64MB. As part of the venture, Infineon will develop a 32-bit security microcontroller based on its existing SLE 88 family for use with HD SIM cards.
