🟡 [Media Report] Micron Technology CEO said on the earnings call that physical AI is the next huge incremental market
Summary: Micron Technology Chairman and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said on the earnings call that in addition to data centers, physical AI will become the next huge incremental market, with autonomous vehicles being its first major deployment.
Content Summary:
Sanjay Mehrotra said on the earnings call that in addition to data centers, the next huge incremental market will be physical AI (Physical AI).
He said autonomous vehicles are the first major deployment of physical AI, and believes that over time it will expand to humanoid robots and other intelligent autonomous systems.
The memory capacity of L4-level and above autonomous vehicles typically exceeds 200GB, with storage capacity reaching multiple TB, more than an order of magnitude higher than today's L2+ and L3-level semi-autonomous vehicles.
Humanoid robots are also expected to have similar storage requirements.
Micron believes that with the dual growth of the number of devices and per-device storage content, physical AI will become an extremely important driver of storage demand by the end of this century.
