Beyond mobile, 1β delivers the low-latency, low-power, high-performance DRAM essential to support highly responsive applications, real-time services, and personalization and contextualization of experiences, from intelligent vehicles to data centers.
The node delivers around a 15% power efficiency improvement and more than a 35% bit density improvement1 with a 16Gb per die capacity.
Micron's plant in Hiroshima, Japan, will mass produce DRAM on 1β.
While the industry has begun to shift to a new tool that uses extreme ultraviolet light to overcome these technical challenges, Micron has tapped into its proven leading-edge nanomanufacturing and lithography prowess to bypass this still-emergent technology.
Price Action: MU shares traded higher by 0.29% at $55.02 in the premarket on the last check Wednesday.
