Micron Technology has announced the start of high-volume production for several new memory and storage products designed to power the next generation of AI and high-performance computing. This includes the HBM4 36GB 12H memory chip with over 2.8 TB/s of bandwidth and 20% better power efficiency compared to the previous HBM3E, the industry's first PCIe Gen6 SSD delivering up to 2x the read performance of Gen5 at 100% higher performance per watt, and the 192GB SOCAMM2 memory module expanding low-power, high-capacity options for the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform.

Why it matters

These new Micron products are critical components that will enable significant performance and efficiency improvements for AI, HPC, and other data-intensive workloads. The HBM4 memory, PCIe Gen6 SSD, and SOCAMM2 modules are designed to work seamlessly with NVIDIA's latest Vera Rubin and BlueField-4 platforms, providing a tightly integrated hardware foundation to unlock the full potential of next-generation AI and computing applications.

The details

Micron's HBM4 36GB 12H memory chip achieves over 11 Gb/s pin speeds, enabling a bandwidth greater than 2.8 TB/s - a 2.3x improvement over HBM3E. The company has also demonstrated advanced packaging capability with a 48GB 16H HBM4 sample, providing a 33% increase in capacity per HBM placement. The Micron 9650 PCIe Gen6 SSD delivers up to 2x the read performance of Gen5 SSDs at 100% higher performance per watt, optimized for AI workloads on NVIDIA's BlueField-4 architecture. The 192GB SOCAMM2 module expands low-power, high-capacity memory options for the Vera Rubin platform, part of Micron's broader SOCAMM2 portfolio spanning 48GB to 256GB.

  • Micron began high-volume shipment of the HBM4 36GB 12H in Q1 2026.
  • Micron announced mass production of the Micron 9650 PCIe Gen6 SSD on February 12, 2026.
