First PCM Solution in the World in Volume Production

BOISE, Idaho, July 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MU), one of the world's leading providers of advanced
semiconductor solutions, today announced an industry first with
high-volume availability of its 45-nanometer (nm) Phase Change Memory
(PCM) for mobile devices, featuring 1-gigabit (Gb) PCM plus 512-megabit
(Mb) LPDDR2 in a multichip package. As the first company in the world
currently offering PCM solutions in volume production, Micron is
providing chipset vendors, enablers, and handset manufacturers with a
proven product that meets the expanding needs of today's wireless
market and paves the way for enhanced features and capabilities.

PCM provides enhanced boot time, simplifies software development and
boosts performance with overwrite capability. It also provides very low
power consumption and extremely high reliability. In addition, the
design-optimizing shared interface between LPDDR2 and PCM is fully
compliant with JEDEC industry standards.

Micron's 45nm PCM solution is currently targeted for utilization in
feature phones, with a future roadmap aimed at addressing smartphones
and media tablets.

"Our commitment to innovation and continued development of advanced
products to address the voracious demands of the wireless industry is
clear and strong," said Tom Eby, Vice President of the Wireless
Solutions Group at Micron. "We are determined to evolve and innovate by
continuing to offer the best-tailored solutions for both today's and
tomorrow's market requirements."

Micron's PCM product line has established a foothold in the wireless
industry, as evidenced by longstanding key relationships with global
customers and enablers, ongoing engagement with major device
manufactures, and strong cooperation with Intel Mobile Communications,
which includes recent PCM qualification.

"Intel's Mobile and Communications Group is at the forefront of new
cellular product and technology enablement, and we see great value in
Micron's PCM technology," said Stefan Butz, Vice President, Marketing
and Product Planning for Intel's Mobile and Communications Group. "With
a commitment to innovation and standardization, as well as a long
history of cooperation with Intel, Micron is a trusted supplier."

From entry-level phones to high-end smartphones and tablets, Micron
supplies virtually every volatile and nonvolatile memory product
utilized in wireless devices today, including NOR, NAND, PCM, LPDRAM
and e * MMC(TM) embedded memory, meeting the need for increased
performance, expanding storage requirements, mature technology
replacement, and package capability.
