Micron has launched its new 4600 series PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD, designed for speed and capacity. The drive is targeted at OEM systems and offers impressive performance improvements over Gen4 NVMe SSDs. It features high-speed read and write speeds, and is available in capacities ranging from 512GB to 4TB.

With the 512GB model offering 10.3GB/s read and 5.8GB/s write speeds, and the 2TB model reaching 12GB/s write speeds, the 4600 series SSD is a significant leap in performance for client SSDs. It also demonstrates the capabilities of PCIe Gen5 in consumer-grade storage solutions.

Micron's move to release this series not through Crucial, but directly under its own brand, signifies its commitment to high-performance storage solutions for the OEM market.

➀ The article provides a quick look at Micron DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM kits, highlighting their specifications and performance in newer platforms.

➁ The Micron DDR5-5600 ECC UDIMM modules are discussed, including their part number and physical appearance.

➂ The author mentions the pricing and availability of these modules, noting that they are currently expensive and not recommended for general use unless absolutely necessary.

➀ Intensifying competition from China, weak demand, and oversupply are forcing traditional NAND manufacturers like Samsung, Hynix, Kioxia, and Micron to cut production volumes, which may lead to industry consolidation in the long term.

➁ According to TrendForce, these companies are implementing production cuts by lowering utilization rates and delaying process upgrades.

➂ Since Q3 2024, prices have been declining, and H1 2025 demand appears weak, with Chinese producers aggressively expanding production.

➀ Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 will introduce the Galaxy S25 Ultra, S25, S25+, and tease the Galaxy S25 Slim.

➁ The event may also reveal new AR glasses or an XR headset.

➂ Samsung will use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and Micron LPDDR5 memory in the S25 series, excluding its own components.

➀ Micron, a major US memory company, is set to release its financial report, as concerns about oversupply in the memory market, especially traditional products, are increasing.

➁ Despite a 'profit surprise' with $7.75 billion in sales between June and August, Micron expects sales to continue growing this quarter, driven by high-value products like HBM.

➂ The semiconductor industry is facing uncertainty due to weak demand for general-purpose storage beyond AI and the aggressive expansion of production by Chinese latercomers.

➀ Samsung Electronics has begun supplying its most advanced high-bandwidth memory HBM3E to a major customer after passing key validation procedures.

➁ The customer is believed to be NVIDIA, a leading AI chip manufacturer.

➂ SK Hynix currently holds over 50% of the HBM market share and is the main supplier of HBM3 and HBM3E to NVIDIA and AMD.

➃ Micron started mass production of HBM3E in February and plans to capture 20-25% of the HBM market share by 2025.

➄ Micron's stock plummeted by 4.26% on October 31st following the news.
