DDR4

Micron's Virginia fab has begun producing America's most advanced DRAM memory, with plans to quadruple output to ease DDR4 shortages in automotive and defense sectors. This domestic production ramp addresses critical supply chain vulnerabilities in strategic industries requiring older memory standards.

Nvidia is accelerating end-of-life schedules for some Jetson AI processors due to DDR4 memory shortages affecting older embedded platforms. This supply constraint forces customers toward newer platforms and demonstrates how memory availability directly impacts AI hardware lifecycles.
