    Technology and Operations • Our 1-beta DRAM and G8 and G9 NAND nodes are ramping in high volume and will become an increasing portion of our mix through fiscal 2025. As a reminder, our G8 NAND node refers to our 232-layer NAND technology node. • Our 1-gamma DRAM pilot production using extreme ultrav

  6. Slide 6: Manufacturing Strategy

    Manufacturing Strategy • We continue to make progress on the construction for our new fab in Idaho and are working with state and federal agencies on the permitting process for our New York site. • Construction is underway on our India assembly and test facility, as well as our China Xi’an back-end

  7. Slide 7: Impact of AI on End Markets

    Impact of AI on End Markets • Memory is essential to extend the frontier of AI capability. • Multiple vectors will drive AI memory demand over the coming years: growing model sizes and input token • Micron is focused on translating the opportunities from AI requirements, multi-modality, multi agent

  8. Slide 8: Data Center

    Data Center • Industry server unit shipments are expected to grow in the mid-to-high single digits in calendar 2024, driven by strong growth for AI servers as well as low-single digits growth for traditional servers. • Our mix of data center revenue reached a record level in fiscal 2024, and we expe

  9. Slide 9: Data Center (continued)

    Data Center (continued) • Micron’s HBM3E 12-high 36GB delivers 20% lower power consumption than our competitors’ HBM3E 8-high 24GB solutions, while providing 50% higher DRAM capacity. • We expect to ramp our HBM3E 12-high output in early calendar 2025 and increase the 12-high mix in our shipments th

  10. Slide 10: PC

    PC • As sell through of PCs continues at a steady pace with a seasonal increase in the second half of calendar 2024, we expect healthier inventories at PC OEMs by spring 2025. • PC unit volumes remain on track to grow in the low single-digit range for calendar 2024. • We expect unit growth to contin

  14. Slide 14: Supply Outlook

    Supply Outlook • We expect industry wafer capacity in both DRAM and NAND in 2024 to be below 2022 peak levels, and for NAND meaningfully so. • This factor, combined with the increasing mix of HBM wafers, is reducing DRAM supply allocated to traditional products, and contributing to the healthy indus

  15. Slide 15: Capex Plan

    Capex Plan • Micron invested $8.1 billion in capex in fiscal 2024. • We expect fiscal 2025 capex to be meaningfully higher, and at around mid-30s percentage range of revenue based on our current capex and revenue expectations. • The growth in both greenfield fab construction and HBM capex investment
