The energy demand of our products contributes to the global environmental impact of technology.
This is why we partner with our customers to deliver memory and storage solutions that meet tightening requirements and expectations for energy efficiency. Micron’s System Power Calculator is an online tool that helps customers estimate memory power requirements when making system and architecture and design decisions.
For example, as demand for ever-greater compute and data processing capabilities on handheld devices grows, it is essential that these devices do not trade energy efficiency for performance. In 2018, Micron began production of the industry’s highest-capacity and first monolithic 12-gigabyte, low-power, double-data-rate 4x (LPDDR4x) DRAM for mobile devices and applications. The LPDDR4x DRAM is produced based on 1Y-nm (10-nanometer-class) process technology, resulting in improved efficiency and reduced battery power consumption. It offers similar data rates as previous-generation DRAM technology but uses up to 10% less power.
