Intel SSD

[Firestrider]

Simple question: Who manufactures the flash memory used in Intel's SSDs, is it Intel itself or does it only manufacture the disk controller?

Also unrelated to storage: who manufactures Intel branded motherboards and the cache in Intel processors, Intel itself?

i believe intel manufacturers their own flash chips and their own controller design for their ssd's.
however i remember seeing a picture somewhere of their drive with a single samsung chip(cant remember what it was for).

edit: found something
Intel Flash/SSD capacity: Intel and Micron have a joint venture called IM Flash Technologies. Both companies are currently making flash on a 50-nanometer process with plans to move to 40nm later this year. There are three NAND flash fabrication plants and one more currently being built in Singapore. The Intel-Micron venture provides funding for the development of silicon technology and the capacity to produce that silicon, according to Winslow. But marketing and end-product decisions are "absolutely separate," he said.
