Much like the people in Norman Rockwell’s famous piece “Going and Coming, ” we’ve gone to and come home from Dell Technologies World 2025. We’ve helped show attendees the future of technology — from the data center all the way to your home office, truly cloud to the edge. And we’ve showcased key technology that helps unlock AI’s full potential through an end-to-end speedy and efficient memory and storage portfolio, like what can be found in Dell’s PowerEdge R760. In fact, our booth demo vaunted over 2 petabytes (PB) of storage in a 2U chassis. Likewise, products like LPDDR5X and GDDR7 help enable critical AI infrastructure like NVIDIA’s GB200 or RTX 5000 series graphics cards, and advanced storage products like our high-performance 9550 SSD and the capacious 6550 ION help provide the necessary space to store all the data that fuels the AI dawn. Without these types of products, AI simply isn’t possible.
If you stopped by our booth, you glimpsed what the future looks like and how Micron sees it. If you couldn’t make it, we missed you! But you can still check out all the innovations on our website.
But this write-up isn’t about us — it’s about highlighting the technologies and ideas we found transformative from our time at Dell Technologies World.

AI expands time
Throughout the show floor, we saw countless booths that referred to artificial intelligence. Often, the displays focused on tangible means for enhancing AI or software solutions for improving its efficiency. Other places on the expo floor, however, hinted at what AI can provide to businesses and consumers — process efficiencies, reductions in effort expenditure and more.
But the one concept that really hit home was that “with AI, your time expands.” This couldn’t be more true than what we saw at the WEKA booth, where a quote from a customer spoke to “[…] 10x faster checkpointing, accelerated read/write throughput, and best-in-class performance […].” Storage and memory performance and density are critical to keeping up with these types of advancements — something Micron keeps in mind as we look at PCIe Gen6 storage capabilities and increased capacity RDIMMs.
These benchmarks are great on paper, but what they really get at is winning back the most valuable resource we as humans have — time. Clawing back this invaluable resource allows us to focus our efforts on other matters that require more attention or on the next great innovation.

AI isn’t going away; it’s growing
Across the aisle from us was a playful display from Meta. While their cozy home-themed booth was bright and cheery, the coziness wasn’t what caught our eye. It was the video screen rotation that highlighted the diverse sizes of their numerous Llama 4 libraries. One of these, Behemoth, registers in with 288 billion active parameters and an eventual 2 trillion parameters! (For reference, OpenAI’s GPT-1 consisted of 117 million parameters, showing an approximately 168% growth of the new libraries over GPT-1.) This growth requires more storage, more memory and more power than ever before — something we keep in mind as we continue to innovate our portfolio.
Another platform that emphasizes these needs is the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. Designed as a full-stack platform for AI innovation, AI Factory helps organizations build, deploy and scale AI workloads with confidence.

As we see these models grow in size, scale and capability, we also see a growing push for AI at the edge to address bottlenecks stemming from AI growth and to further fuel the AI evolution. Dell is answering this trend with new products, such as PowerEdge servers that feature NVIDIA’s HGX B300 (PowerEdge XE9780 and XE9785) and AMD’s MI350 GPUs (PowerEdge XE9785 and XE9785L), as well as new software solutions like Project Lightning, the high-speed file system designed to enhance enterprise AI workloads. Don’t think we’re out of the picture either. These new XE9780 series servers can support up to 256 Blackwell Ultra GPUs — where Micron high-bandwidth memory plays a huge part!
We look forward to the age of Intelligence Accelerated
As we reflect on our time at Dell Technologies World 2025, we’re filled with joy and excitement. The event was not only a showcase of cutting-edge technology but also a testament to the relentless innovation driving our industry forward. The advancements in AI, memory and storage that we witnessed promise a future where technology expands what’s possible — a world where on-device AI assistants become more prevalent.
We can't wait to return to Dell Technologies World next year, ready to explore new horizons and unlock further potential in the ever-evolving landscape of intelligent technology. In the meantime, explore micron.com to find out how we can help you advance your AI-enabled future.
