Why Micron Is Suddenly Ditching 4F² DRAM as Rivals Double Down
Summary
Hot Hardware reports that Micron is abandoning 4F² DRAM after two decades of research, opting to continue with 6F² and pursue 3D DRAM as the future. The piece contrasts Micron's stance with rivals Samsung, SK hynix, and CXMT, who are moving forward with 4F², arguing that 4F² does not provide meaningful density gains and increases cost and complexity. The article outlines Micron's roadmap and the industry-wide implications for memory density and manufacturing.
