3D XPoint is at risk of being abandoned on March 17, 2021, 10:10
The big picture: Micron Technology is washing its hands of 3D XPoint, the memory technology it announced alongside Intel back in 2015. The company has halted R&D and is putting its fab up for sale. Unless a new owner scoops up the ashes and does something revolutionary with it, we ve perhaps seen the last of 3D XPoint. Maybe Intel will want it after all?
Micron said that effective immediately, they will cease development of 3D XPoint as they have determined that there is “insufficient market validation to justify the ongoing high levels of investments required to successfully commercialize 3D XPoint at scale.”
