Forget about PCs or LLMs, Micron says driverless cars and humanoid bots will soon be gobbling up 300 GB of RAM per device

Micron Technology foresees a dramatic paradigm shift in the computing memory landscape, predicting that autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots will soon demand an astonishing 300 GB of RAM per device. This figure significantly dwarfs the memory requirements of current personal computers and even large language models, signaling a new era of high-demand edge computing.

This immense memory capacity will be absolutely crucial for these advanced machines to effectively process real-time sensor data, execute complex artificial intelligence algorithms, make instantaneous decisions, and facilitate continuous learning. All these capabilities are essential for their safe, efficient, and effective operation in dynamic and unpredictable environments. This projected surge in demand represents a substantial growth opportunity for memory manufacturers like Micron, as the industry moves beyond traditional computing paradigms towards increasingly intelligent and autonomous systems that operate at the very edge of our infrastructure.
