For the first time since announcing its seismic decision to kill its consumer SSD and memory brand Crucial, Micron has addressed the notion that it is leaving consumers behind in a new interview. The company also warned that despite breaking ground on new memory fabs, we shouldn't expect to see meaningful output impacting memory supply until at least 2028.
Micron's push back against the criticism of its decision to shutter Crucial comes by way of a WCCFTech interview with Christopher Moore, Micron's VP of Marketing, Mobile and Client Business Unit. The outlet wasted no time pressing Moore in Micron's controversial, but not entirely unexpected, decision to shutter the Crucial brand late last year. In early December, the company said that it plans to wind down its consumer business by the end of next month (January), reallocating its output and time to enterprise-grade DRAM and SSDs for AI buildouts.
