mu's sequential bit growth was down 10% inspite of acquiring txn's fabs 1 month into the q. the net effect was to totally take txn's fabs offline and mu cut down output 10% of what they made, by themselves, during the prior q.

this is unheard of in dram mfrg. either they have serious mfrg problems or they are withholding inventory and/or production in order to manipulate pricing.

either way, it will come back online and absorb a lot of demand.
