What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Micron Technology is accelerating its 3D-NAND roadmap by jumping from Generation 9 to Generation 11. This new technology, which utilizes wafer on wafer bonding, offers twice the bit density, up to a 1.5x increase in I/O speed, and requires 25 percent less energy to transfer a bit compared to Gen 9. The company plans to ramp G11 in the second half of next year.
