Micron 64 Layer NAND Coming To Market; GDDR6, Next-Gen 3D XPoint, QLC NAND In Development

[Guest]

Micron laid out plans for its 64-layer NAND and GDDR6 at its Analyst Conference. Micron is also developing the next two generations of 3D XPoint and a new, faster memory that will be more competitive with DRAM along with QLC NAND.

The article makes Micron's future seem pretty optimistic for the next year.
I'm really excited about the effect of GDDR6. Do you suppose it will be cheaper to implement than HBM2? Is GDDR6 the future of video card memory technology? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Dragon Ball Z!

Why is that Doom video in every single article?

I vaguely remember that Doom video when I opened Toms on a friend's computer.

Poor friend having to look at all those ads.

Not sure if it is my host file or noscript blocking it.

lol

Well, the video originated in the Carmack/Zenimax article, where it was supposed to be. So I don't think it's something that should be blocked that isn't. It's just, for some reason, on every single article now.

I find the video to be lighthearted and refreshing 😛

Micron's 3D TLC NAND has an odd (but large) 384Gb die capacity

Why is this odd? TLC = triple-level cell, so the expected size should be a multiple of 3 (assuming # of cells is a power of 2). It would be 1.5 * the number of cells.

What's meant by "throughput", on the Industry Supply Outlook slide? I somehow doubt it's related to production speed, since it's always negative and mentioned as meaning something other than wafer additions.

BTW, there are some really interesting slides. It's a little surprising the would publish such analysis, but I guess maybe enough of their customers and investors demand to know such things. A few of them require a bit of a think to really understand what they're saying.

@PaulyAlcorn I think u meant "successor" in "Durcan will stay with the company until the board selects his predecessor." 😉

"Durcan will stay with the company until the board selects his predecessor."

Successor.

His predecessor preceded him.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing, if there is a proof reader anymore 🙁
"Durcan will stay with the company until the board selects his predecessor." Maybe he wanted to say selects the sucessor to his predecessor?

Thanks for the heads-up (and piling on 😛 ), fixed!
