The new 1 GB MMCmicro, at 7.12 MBs per second, writes 3.5 times as fast as other micro cards being sold today. It can store 20 five-mega pixel pictures in 11 seconds, while other cards take up to 30 seconds, or even longer, to do the same. It also comes with a dual voltage of 1.8 volts and 3.3V. The lower voltage version reduces power consumption 82 percent over other micro-sized cards.

The Dataquest semiconductor research firm said that the global MMCmicro market will expand by 81 percent cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2005 and 2010, from 4 million units last year to 77 million units in 2010, while the overall Multimedia Card market grows by about 9 percent CAGR from 65 to 100 million units. The 1 GB MMCmicro will be commercially available in the third quarter of 2006.
