Competitive Edge – What differentiates your company in the market? Highlight key strengths, unique offerings, and industry positioning.

Micron key differentiators are comprehensive portfolio, end-customer centric brands – Crucial & Micron & respective GTM strategies. Micron innovations in both memory and storage technology help differentiate Micron products and improve time to market for the end customers/use cases.Micron has been a thought leader not just being several quarters ahead of other industry players but also for envisaging industry leading product segments like Micron’s 6500 30TB TLC SSD to help customers choose best level performance/endurance with TLC NAND while getting superior value that eclipses even QLC SSDs. Micron has now launched 6550 which goes upto 61.44TB but still is based on TLC NAND which highlights the technology strength of Micron at die level. Micron still offers 5DWPD SATA SSDs which is unheard of in the semicon industry today to cater to write centric workloads while the industry doesn’t go beyond 3DWPD.  In the consumer segment, Crucial simplified Gamers/professional woes by launching Pro product lines which provide highest performance in plug and play manner. Micron established itself as a leader in Gen 5 NVMe consumer SSD space with record breaking &industry leading products with unmatched performance of Crucial T705/T700. Micron distinguishes itself by its end-to-end manufacturing, deep expertise in latest nodes & seamless collaboration with entire ecosystem which helps position our unique offerings in competitive memory market.

Micron has been driven by innovationsright from its inception. Micron’s initiatives to shift left and keep making industry leading nodes at breathtaking pace have been well received by both customer and the partner ecosystem. Some of the key innovations by Micron are listed below:

    1. 2018: Shipped industry’s first QLC NAND SSD
    2. 2020: Launched GDDR6X, first memory with PAM4 multi-level signaling & Shipped industry’s first 176-Layer NAND flash
    3. 2021: Shipped industry’s first 1α DRAM process technology
    4. 2022: Expanded 176-Layer NAND across TLC and QLC SSD portfolio & shipped industry’s first 1β DRAM and 232-Layer NAND
    5. Micron’s 6500 30TB SSD provides high performance/endurance based on its TLC NAND while getting superior value that eclipses even QLC SSDs.Similarly, Micron’s 6550 60TB helps gain further benefits and is uniquely built on TLC NAND again highlighting Micron’s technological prowess with latest die.
    6. 2023: Announced industry’s fastest, highest-capacity HBM3E with 30% lower power consumption, than competition to advance generative AI innovation & shipped first to market 128GB high-capacity DDR5 RDIMMS.
    7. 2024 YTD: Micron launched 8-High 24GB HBM3e and 12H 36GB HBM3e

For the coming year, our focus is to help drive several new technology adoptions in our market such as Gen 5 NVMe SSDs, LPCAMM2, high capacity DDR5 monolithic die based, MRDIMMs, CXL and a new range Gaming products (Pro) and portable SSDs. Over next few years we will help customersto enabletheir AI based projects/opportunities right from AI PCs to Datacenters. Micron itself has been heavily using AI and smart manufacturing within the entire organization.
