Micron is putting $10bn into a research lab built on the premise that AI has permanently changed what memory is worth.
The company announced Micron Research Labs on Thursday, headquartered in Boise, Idaho, with a planned $10bn over the next decade.
It is separate from the more than $250bn Micron has committed to American manufacturing and research, and the company calls it the first dedicated memory research hub of its kind in the United States.
What the lab is meant to do
The research areas are memory technologies, memory and compute architectures, packaging and future semiconductor manufacturing. Micron says the work will look beyond a ten-year horizon.
