    Micron's Virginia fab begins producing America's most advanced DRAM memory — fab expansion to quadruple output, easing DDR4 shortage for automotive and defense sectors

    Micron has initiated production of its most advanced DDR4-compatible DRAM at its Manassas, Virginia facility, marking the first time this technology is manufactured in the U.S. This expansion, a $2 billion investment supported by CHIPS Act funding, is set to quadruple the site's DDR4 wafer output. The move aims to alleviate a critical shortage of the older memory standard, which is essential for long-lifecycle industries like automotive and defense, as major DRAM producers shift capacity towards AI-driven demand for newer memory types.

    The definitive guide to trade wars just dropped. Its authors have one message for Washington: Study your enemy

    Soumaya Keynes and Chad Bown have released a new book, "How to Win a Trade War," offering a historical framework for understanding U.S.-China trade relations. The book argues that the U.S. is ill-equipped to handle the current economic rivalry with China, particularly regarding industrial policy. Keynes and Bown highlight China's success in dominating markets like electric vehicles through a combination of R&D funding and state-directed demand, contrasting it with U.S. approaches like the CHIPS Act, which they argue lacked sufficient demand-side support.
