Micron, Lenovo, and Linkcom establish joint laboratory to accelerate PC innovation

Micron Technology Inc., a leading provider of memory and storage solutions, announced the establishment of a joint laboratory with Lenovo and LinkCom Technology (Lenovo's largest manufacturing and R&D organization). This laboratory is the first joint laboratory in the memory and storage industry to unite both original design manufacturers (ODMs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This unique three-party cooperation model will accelerate the application of Micron's cutting-edge DRAM and NAND innovative technologies (such as GDDR6, LPDDR5, DDR5 and PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD) in Lenovo's product design, thereby better meeting users' core workload needs.

“Micron is committed to fostering innovation, advancing research and optimizing processes,” said Mike Bokan, Micron’s senior vice president of global sales. “By collaborating with Lenovo and LinkCom, we hope to identify and resolve technical issues early in customer product development, thereby accelerating time to market while ensuring superior quality and performance to meet customer and industry needs.”

In response to the continued increase in market demand for remote work, distance education and online games, the three companies will focus on accelerating the development cycle of PCs and laptops. Micron will participate in the testing and evaluation of the development platform and provide differentiated products for customers to achieve system optimization based on memory and storage requirements. This cooperation not only enhances Lenovo's R&D capabilities, but also ensures that future product planning is directly linked to product application functions, driving breakthroughs in performance, power efficiency and portability of personal computing devices.

Mr. Peng Bo, CEO of LinkCom, commented: "Establishing a joint lab with Micron is a powerful combination that will enable us to accelerate the development of innovative products and cutting-edge product features. I am very much looking forward to seeing the further results of LinkCom's deepening collaboration with Micron."

The Micron Technology-Lenovo-Link Lab further extends the long-term partnership between Micron and Lenovo. The two parties have successfully cooperated in multiple fields such as data center, intelligent edge, client and mobile communications for more than two decades.

Mr. Luis Hernandez, Vice President of PC and Smart Solutions Development at Lenovo, commented: “Memory and SSD are key technologies to ensure high performance, long battery life and stable system performance in PC products. I am very pleased to see Lenovo and LinkCom collaborate with Micron, an industry-leading memory manufacturer, and look forward to the great contributions from the joint lab.”
