-- Micron Technology, Inc., Announces Industry Samples of 100MHz and 133MHz 128 Meg -- DDR SDRAMs Functioning at 200MHz and 266MHz Data Rates Business/High Tech Editors BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2000-- Micron DDR SDRAMs Enable High-Speed System Level Performance, Providing Faster Support for Multiple Applications Micron Technology, Inc., today announced industry samples of 2.5V 100MHz and 133MHz 128 Meg Double Data Rate (DDR) synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) components. Micron's 128 Meg DDR SDRAM components function at data rates up to 266MHz, providing system-level bandwidth up to 2.1 gigabytes per second. At these speeds, these devices satisfy the requirements of both PC1600 and PC2100. "These next-generation DDR SDRAMs support a variety of applications, ranging from servers to desktop PCs, as well as provide benefits in graphics and networking," said Deb Freitas, DRAM Marketing Manager. "With this new density, Micron is able to offer a very cost-effective, high-performance solution with the same package and pin-out for multiple densities. This provides our customers with an easy upgrade path in transitioning to higher density parts." The 32 Meg x 4 and 16 Meg x 8 configurations of the 2.5 Volt 128 Meg DDR SDRAM, for use as main memory in server, workstation and high-end PC applications, are the first 128 Meg density offerings in a broad product family of 2.5V DDR SDRAM products. The 128 Meg DDR SDRAM will also be available in 8 Meg x 16 and 4 Meg x 32 configurations for use in graphics, networking and telecommunications applications. The 128 Meg DDR SDRAM also provides an upgrade path to the 256 Meg DDR SDRAM, which Micron plans to introduce in the same package and pin-out later this year. "The introduction of this new generation reaffirms Micron's commitment to DDR SDRAM," said Jeff Mailloux, Micron's Director of DRAM Marketing. "With its low latency and high bandwidth, DDR is a leading memory solution for multiple applications. We will continue to broaden our product offering in this key DRAM architecture." Samples of 32 Meg x 4 (MT46V32M4TG) and 16 Meg x 8 (MT46V16M8TG) DDR SDRAM components are currently available. Pricing of DDR SDRAMs are comparable to SDRAMs. Samples of PC1600 and PC2100 128MB regiqtered DDR SDRAM DIMM modules (MT9VDDT1672G) and 256MB registered DDR SDRAM DIMM modules (MT9VDDT1672G) are also available. Micron's specifications for both DDR SDRAM components and associated modules adhere to the standards of both JEDEC and Advanced Memory International. For more information or to order samples, contact Micron Technology's Marketing Department at 208/368-3900. Micron Technology, Inc., and its subsidiaries manufacture and market DRAMs, very fast SRAMs, Flash, other semiconductor components, memory modules, graphics accelerators, and personal computer systems. Micron's'common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol MU.

Great call reward goes to Jon Joseph. Maybe PC market is getting weaker than people expected.

--Glen Re: Salomon Smith Barney's bold comment on 64 Meg DRAM pricing, which said, "We believe contract pricing is heading lower, with most estimates suggesting $7.25-7.50 for the first half of February." Today, the low end of the range for 64Mb 8Mx8 PC100 SDRAM was $7.12, the high $7.55, giving an ASP of about $7.34. And we aren't even into February yet. Does that mean DRAM price erosion is over? I have no idea. It has been relentless over the past few weeks. (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=12726184) Still, any uptick in DRAM pricing might give MU a relief rally. Alternatively from a TA viewpoint, based on the daily price change for the past month, at today's low (so far) of about 58-1/4, there was a 5% probability of further downside. --Steve
