NOR Flash
NOR flash memory is a non-volatile storage technology. Its main differentiating factor over NOR Flash memory is that it can perform without the need for any external power source. Machine instructions can be run directly from the chip and also retrieved using NOR flash memory. It contains several address pins that provide access to every byte of information available in the chip. NOR flash memory is not only faster but also more expensive compared to NOR Flash. NOR flash memory is most often deployed in cellphones.
