Intel and Micron end partnership
 

Thanks for the memories

Intel and Micron are to pull the plug on their long-running partnership on 3D NAND flash memory by early next year.



In a joint statement Chipzilla and Micron said they would "work independently" on future 3D NAND after signing off on their third generation of 3D NAND late this year. The companies said they would continue to work together to develop and manufacture 3D XPoint non-volatile memory.

Intel's ramp up of Intel's 300-mm fab in Dalian, China to produce 3D NAND — which began two years ago — has made Intel less reliant on Micron and many expected the pair to start seeing other people and making arrangements to see the kids in weekends.
