Marc Farley (@GoFarley) takes a ridecast with himself to discuss the recent disappointing financial results and pending layoffs at Micron, the challenges of competing in the memory industry and the potential impact on the rest of the tech industry with respect to 3D XPoint memory. Intel also announced sizable layoffs a few months previously due to the same decline in PC sales that is causing Micron’s poor performance in DRAM sales. The question for the rest of the industry is whether or not these problems will impact their ability to execute on the technology and market development of 3D XPoint memory.
