Micron's 84.6% gross margin doesn't exist in a vacuum — it's the price the market pays for being first. HBM4, built on 1-beta DRAM, is already in high-volume shipments for its lead customer's platform, with qualification samples dispatched to multiple additional end-customers. No competitor is shipping at that node at scale.
HBM4E (1-gamma DRAM) is in active development with volume production targeted for calendar 2027 — a locked-in roadmap advantage before HBM4 demand peaks. On the server side, 256GB DDR5 RDIMMs on 1-gamma with 3D die stacking have shipped to key server ecosystem enablers.
In storage, the G9-based PCIe Gen6 high-performance SSD is in high-volume production and the 245TB QLC SSD — the highest-capacity drive in its class — has commenced shipments. In mobile, 1-gamma 16Gb LPDDR5X is in high-volume ramp at a leading smartphone OEM.
Multi-year Strategic Customer Agreements underpin the entire stack, converting what could be a cyclical spike into predictable, durable revenue — the structural shift that separates this moment from every prior memory supercycle.
We believe our multi-year Strategic Customer Agreements will significantly enhance the durability and predictability of Micron's strong financial performance.
