Micron has introduced two new tech products: a tiny flash storage device for phones and a big memory chip for Nvidia GPUs. Micron, which makes and sells SSDs, created a flash chip that’s super small but packs a punch. It’s like a supercharged version of the standard UFS 4.0 device, only about the size of […]
Micron announced the industry’s first 3D NAND memory device with 232 layers on Thursday. The company intends to use its new 232-layer 3D NAND products for a variety of applications, including solid-state drives, and expects to begin mass production of such chips in late 2022. Micron’s 232-layer 3D NAND device has a raw capacity of […]
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) has announced the availability of a sample of the world’s first vertically-integrated 176-layer NAND solid-state drive (SSD) for data center applications. This new data center SSD features Micron’s industry-leading NAND with 176 layers of storage cells and proven CMOS-under-the-array technology for an ultra-efficient design. Last year, organizations that used high […]
If you’ve built a PC, upgraded a laptop, or bought an SSD in the last twenty years, chances are you’ve run into the Crucial brand. For a long time, Crucial was the friendly, consumer-facing arm of Micron — a way for one of the world’s biggest memory manufacturers to sell directly to everyday users. So […]
Update — As of Sep 2025 Quick rewind: in April 2023, the U.S. Justice Department announced a settlement with Micron over an Immigration and Nationality Act hiring violation — back pay of $85,000 to the affected worker, a civil penalty, required training, policy fixes, and a two-year monitoring period. That clock started then. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} As […]
Micron plans to close Shanghai DRAM operations and focus more on NAND memory market. Micron Memory, a USB semiconductor company based out of Boise ID, is reportedly planning to close their Shanghai operations which uses technology resources to develop DRAM technology. I source not willing to comment indicates a lack of talent or “loss of […]
Micron, with the corporate office based in Boise Idaho, introduces the c200 microSD card with a data storage range from 128GB to 1TB. No that wasn’t a typo, One Terabyte of storage. The card was designed to address the demand around 4K video recording and playback. The card has read speeds near 100MB/s and write […]
3 bit-per-cell NAND is sampled out the manufacturers. The 3 bit per cell is exactly that, 3 bits of information are stored in each NAND cell. This increased the capacity while keeping the foot print the same size. This ultimately leads to larger storage capacity at a cheaper price. Traditionally, SLC [Single Layer Cell] and […]
Intel and Micron are two of the primary NAND flash memory makers and are partners in such manufacturing. Earlier this month they announced new technology capable of 3-bit per cell storage which is based off 34-nanometer technology. The 3-bit per cell concept allows for more storage in the same realestat of flash memory. This imporvement […]
A sweeping shortage of DRAM and NAND, driven by AI demand and global supply constraints, is pushing contract prices up by as much as 60% this quarter. Memory-chip pricing is no longer inching upward — it’s jumping. Recent reports indicate that Samsung Electronics has raised contract prices for certain memory chips by up to 60% […]
