Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:MU) has begun customer sampling of its 192GB SOCAMM2 (small outline compression attached memory modules), designed to accelerate adoption of low-power memory in AI data centers. The move comes as rapid artificial intelligence innovation prompts data centers to opt for energy-efficient infrastructure. In partnership with Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Micron pioneered low-power server memory for data centers over the past five years.

It delivers the data throughput and energy efficiency required for both AI training and inference, positioning SOCAMM2 as a key memory solution for next-generation AI platforms. Micron transforms low-power dynamic random access memory or DRAM originally designed for mobile devices into data center-class modules through specialized design and rigorous testing. Customer samples of SOCAMM2 are now shipping in capacities up to 192GB per module with speeds up to 9.6 Gbps, and high-volume production is aligned with customer launch schedules. Micron stock gained over 140% year-to-date topping Nasdaq 100 index’s over 19% returns. Wall Street analysts identified Micron’s key growth drivers as demand for AI-related memory in data centers, particularly DRAM and high-bandwidth memory (HBM), as well as favorable supply conditions that support strong pricing. RBC Capital's Matt Bryson noted DRAM and HBM momentum fueled by AI infrastructure spending. Price Action: MU stock is trading lower by 1.15% to $199.95 at last check on Wednesday.
