After Kingston, now Micron Technology announced that its one gigabit (GB) double data rate DDR2 memory components are qualified for use with the Advanced Micro Devices new AMD Phenom quad-core processors.

Users can experience a significant increase in computing performance by combining the AMD Phenom processors with Micron's DDR2-1066 memory technology,

Micron's DDR2-1066 components have been in production for several months now and we are pleased to have successfully qualified our products with the AMD Phenom processors.

said Brian Shirley, vice president of Micron's memory group. That's the same old song to a new tune, we get certified memory modules for every new piece of hardware.

Building on its heritage of innovation in DRAM technology, Micron Technology, today announced the industry's first 2 gigabit (Gb) double data rate (DDR) 3 component. Micron's newest DRAM innovation is the highest density DDR3 component available on the market. By using 2Gb components, Micron can enable 8 gigabyte (GB) and 16GB modules for servers and 4GB modules for desktop and notebook PCs, which are the industry's highest density DDR3 modules available.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Micron Technology Inc. (NYSE:MU) , a maker of computer memory chips, said Tuesday it has cut less than 10 percent of its 11,000-person work force in Idaho, though it indicated more cuts are possible as the company attempts to recover from losses fed by falling prices for its products.
'We have completed many of these work force reductions, which account for less than 10 percent of our work force in the Treasure Valley,' Micron CEO Steve Appleton said in a statement.

Micron Technology, Inc., one of the world's leading providers of advanced semiconductor solutions, today officially opened a new manufacturing facility in Xi'an, China. The facility, Micron's first manufacturing facility in China, is designed for assembly and test operations for Micron's semiconductor products, including dynamic random access memory, NAND flash memory and CMOS image sensors. The facility is expected to be built-out by the end of 2008 at an investment of $250 million and support up to 2,000 employees. The plant is Micron's second assembly and test facility in Asia, with its first being opened in Singapore in 1998. Additionally, Micron's Xi'an facility will be one of the largest investments of the 860 foreign-invested companies operating in the Xi'an High Tech Zone in Shaanxi Province in Midwest China.
