Thriving synergy: Dell and Micron are advancing AI for data centers and PCs

 Joshua Goltermann, Rashmila Mahajan | May 2025

"Dude, you're getting a Dell!" 
 

That iconic phrase has been etched in our minds since the legendary commercial first aired 24 years ago. Fast forward to 2025, and Dell has evolved into a powerhouse in the data center revolution, driven by the AI era. As industry leaders flock to Las Vegas for Dell Tech World, they're eager to ride the wave of innovation. To unlock AI’s promise, businesses must embrace a data-centric approach and leverage the right technology foundation. Micron is empowering industries to transform data into intelligence with a comprehensive portfolio of innovative AI-ready storage and memory solutions, paving the way for the future of data centers. 

Micron HBM3E

Unlocking the potential of AI infrastructure with Micron memory

We are in the age of Intelligence Accelerated, where AI is transforming the world at an unprecedented pace. At the core of this transformation is data — the lifeblood of AI. The world is generating vast amounts of data daily, much of which will reside in data centers. With this surge of data in data centers comes an anticipated 16% compounded increase in data center electricity demand through 2028.1 As demand continues to grow, Micron plays a crucial role in this revolution by delivering high-performance, energy-efficient memory and storage technologies that enable its full potential. Micron’s memory portfolio — including high-bandwidth memory and server DIMMs — addresses the diverse challenges of AI applications by delivering exceptional versatility and performance. Designed for high-bandwidth and low-latency needs, these solutions enhance the processing of complex workloads such as machine learning and real-time analytics, while improving energy efficiency and ensuring seamless data throughput.

Micron HBM3E, offering up to 30% lower power than competitors,2 goes into the NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPU, which is used in Dell PowerEdge XE7745 servers for deploying industry-leading large language models (LLMs).3 Using only half the energy while offering more than twice the memory bandwidth and processing capacity of its predecessor, HBM3E solutions are integral to powering real-time applications — such as content-generating large language models (LLMs), e-commerce platforms, digital services and financial trading systems. 

Micron 6550 ION

Enter the Micron 6550 ION, a game-changer in data storage. With its compact E3.S form factor, this innovative SSD allows up to 40 drives per 2U, offering 67% more per-rack storage than competing 60TB SSDs.  

But it's not just about capacity. The Micron 6550 ION excels in energy efficiency by using 20% less power than the competition,4 making it indispensable for data centers aiming to scale effectively and sustainably. By integrating industry-leading SSDs like the Micron 6550 ION, data centers can support high-performance computing and AI applications with improved capacity and reduced energy consumption. 

In a world where data is king, products like the Micron 6550 ION ensure data centers remain at the forefront of technology, ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. The 6550 ION can be seamlessly integrated with the Dell R770 server. 

Envisioning the future of AI PCs 

Data and AI are not only integral to the data centers but also increasingly embedded in our daily lives — through revolutionary smart assistants, enhanced decision-making features, and efficient solutions for work and leisure. These advancements make personal computers indispensable for professionals, creators and gamers alike. 

AI PCs are vital because they empower artificial intelligence to process and access data directly on the device, reducing reliance on cloud-based systems. This localized data access enables faster decision-making, enhanced privacy and lower latency, all features that make AI PCs indispensable for professionals, creators and gamers seeking seamless and efficient performance.

Dell and Micron have already been laying the foundation for smart AI PC generation through low-power memory and storage solutions like LPDDR5X and the 4600 SSD. This SSD solution is built on Micron G9 TLC NAND technology to offer exceptional storage and high performance. 

Micron and Dell, empowering tomorrow

The synergy between Micron and Dell is paving the way for data centers of the future — AI at the edge and everywhere in-between. By combining Dell's robust infrastructure solutions with Micron’s cutting-edge AI-ready storage and memory products, we are setting new standards in performance and efficiency. Our commitment to advancing AI through innovative products like Micron high-bandwidth memory, G9-based storage solutions and cutting-edge graphics memory ensures that data centers can meet the demands of increasingly complex workloads. Together, we are driving the evolution of data centers toward a more sustainable and scalable future.
