What are they? If it's Gb, are intel really putting 80 of them in each 320GB SSD?

The individual nand flash dies will be stacked, very likely 4 per package, so you'd only see 20 separate packages on the circuit board.

More than 80, as they incorporate extra storage to deal with failure due to write wear. Wear leveling alone doesn't cover it, you need "spare sectors."
