Nvidia Built The AI Machine Micron Controls One Of Its Biggest Bottlenecks

Nvidia's supply commitments surged to $279B, driven by memory needs, impacting its gross margins (75% in Q2, expected to drop to 71%-72%). Micron, a key memory supplier, reported strong fiscal Q3 results ($41.46B revenue, $28.24B net income) and high margins (83%-87%). Micron's HBM4 memory is critical for Nvidia's AI chips, creating a supply bottleneck.
