Micron tears away cloak to reveal its Gen3 Hybrid Memory Cube

Micron has revealed some of the goals – and the manufacturing challenges it faces – for the development of its next-generation "all silicon" Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC). Micron's current HMC Gen2, engineering samples of which having been released this September, stacks up layers of memory cells, each on an organic laminate …

The rest is banana-republic level theater.

They need to design nano-bots to help them put it together.
