SHIPMENT OF 1-GAMMA DRAM SETS INDUSTRY RECORD Micron Technology announces that they may be the first in the industry to ship samples of its 1γ (1-gamma), sixth generation (10nm-class) DRAM node-based DDR5 memory designed for next-generation CPUs to ecosystem partners and select customers. This 1γ DRAM milestone builds on Micron’s previous 1α (1-alpha) and 1β (1-beta) DRAM node leadership to deliver innovations that will power future computing platforms: from the cloud, to industrial and consumer applications, to Edge AI devices like AI PCs, smartphones, and automobiles. The Micron 1γ DRAM node will first be leveraged in its 16Gb DDR5 DRAM and over time will be integrated across Micron’s memory portfolio. Designed to offer speed capabilities of up to 9200MT/s, the 16Gb DDR5 product provides up to a 15% speed increase and over 20% power reduction compared to its predecessor. With the introduction of AI across the data center and the edge, the demand for memory has never been greater. Micron’s transition to the 1γ DRAM node helps address the key challenges customers face that can be resolved with enhanced performance, power savings, and improved bit-density output. Micross acquires Integra Technologies. Illustration of the photolithography behind Micron’s 1-gamma DRAM node. “Micron’s expertise in developing proprietary DRAM technologies, combined with our strategic use of EUV lithography, has resulted in a robust portfolio of cuttingedge 1γ-based memory products poised to propel the AI ecosystem forward,” states Scott DeBoer, executive vice president and chief technology & products officer at Micron. “The enhanced bit density output of the 1γ DRAM node underscores Micron’s manufacturing prowess and efficiency, enabling us to scale memory supply to meet the growing industry demand.” For more information, visit micron.com.
