My understanding is that Micron only does R&D in Boise, they don't run any production manufacturing there.

- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoThey are building a new fab in Boise to return production to the US. That's in addition to the new fab in Syracuse. Any guesses why they need two new facilities in the mainland US when the bulk of their output is just going to be shipped to SEA? DRAM is a fully commoditized, low margin product. Kryptonite to MBAs, but someone convinced them to make the move to reverse their successful offshoring with a lot of promised benefits.
- kragen 2y agoDRAM is expensive enough per kilogram that most of it has been shipped by air for decades.
