Micron Unveils $10 Billion AI Memory Research Lab In Boise (yahoo.com) 19
Micron says it will spend $10 billion over the next decade on a new research lab in Boise focused on advanced memory technologies, computing systems, and future chip manufacturing. Here are some details, as reported by Reuters:
- Micron Research Labs will bring together customers, academia, government and the broader semiconductor ecosystem to pursue breakthroughs, the company said.
- The latest investment builds on the more than $250 billion that Micron had separately committed to manufacturing and R&D across the United States.
- The lab will be connected to Micron's research and technology footprint across the U.S., Europe, Japan, India, Singapore and Taiwan.
- Growing adoption of AI workloads and infrastructure buildout have boosted demand for high-bandwidth memory, which rapidly feeds data to AI accelerators, making it a critical component of modern computing infrastructure.
- The Trump administration has prioritized domestic chip manufacturing in a bid to reduce foreign dependence, boost the economic output and maintain its lead in the AI race.
- Micron expects to break ground on the facility in 2027, which will be capable of hosting hundreds of researchers and facilitating international conferences and workshops.

According to https://usafacts.org/articles/... [usafacts.org] Idaho's per capita murder rate is 1.8 per 100k. California's murder rate 4.5 per 100k.
So clearly those California gun laws are working. They've managed to rack up more then double the murder rate then that redneck state y'all think is just so bad. California, land of the enlightened, home to the 4th largest economy in the world and yet it's twice as dangerous as the backwards Republican state.
Maybe the guns make for a more polite society. California seems to th

Summary says
"capable of hosting hundreds of researchers and facilitating international conferences and workshops" and I thought alot of international conferences, etc is moving out of the US cos of the problems of visiting US.

So, good luck with getting international events held within the US.
