When Micron announced plans to build two new fabs in the U.S. in 2022, the company vaguely said both would come online by the decade's end.

"These fab construction investments are necessary to support supply growth for the latter half of this decade," a statement by Micron in its Q3 FY2024 financial results report reads. "This Idaho fab will not contribute to meaningful bit supply until fiscal 2027 and the New York construction capex is not expected to contribute to...
