“Micron is entering the NAND market aggressively, starting with the introduction of our first device on 90nm followed by process migrations to 72nm and then 58nm. Our NAND roadmap reflects multiple configurations and density migrations up to 16Gbit. We anticipate ramping production quickly to meet the forecasted market demand,” said Jan du Preez, Micron’s vice president of networking and communication in a press release. Micron’s networking and communications group is responsible for memory products targeting the networking and handsets markets.
Micron declined to provide guidance on sales projections or capacity allocation, but the company reiterated that it would allocate 20% of its capacity to non-PC memory products by the end of this year.
Building on the success of the Warcraft® series, Blizzard hopes to expand the MMORPG genre by creating a deep, immersive, user-friendly experience that will appeal to both veteran gamers and casual players alike. World of Warcraft™ takes place three years following the aftermath of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne™, when a great tension has settled over the ravaged world of Azeroth. As the various races begin to rebuild their shattered kingdoms, new threats, both ancient and terrifying, have arisen to plague the world once again. Players must explore the lands of Azeroth, forge fellowships with other players, and build their strength in order to prevail. World of Warcraft™ will be fully localized into French, German, and English in Europe.
