Recently, Christopher Moore, who serves as the Vice President of the Marketing, Mobile, and Client Business Unit at Micron Technology, gave an interview. This interview came in response to the uproar sparked by the company's decision to shut down the well - known consumer - grade memory and storage brand Crucial in December 2025. In the interview, Moore made it clear that the company's move was not a sign of betraying consumers. Instead, it was a strategic decision to better cater to the rapidly expanding high - end market segment, especially the AI data center business. He stressed that Micron is still actively serving the consumer market through various channels, such as OEMs. For instance, it supplies LPDDR5 memory to well - known manufacturers like Dell and ASUS. Moore also highlighted the current state of the DRAM market. He noted that there is a tight supply situation, and this is projected to persist at least until 2028. Although Micron is actively ramping up its production capacity, constructing new fabs and getting customer certifications are time - consuming processes. Finally, he reaffirmed Micron's commitment to serving consumers across the globe. However, he also mentioned that the company would make some adjustments in its approach to the consumer market.
