Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) is one of the best stocks to buy for next-gen data centers. On May 12, the company announced that it had sampled 256GB DDR5 registered dual in-line memory modules to key server ecosystem partners. The module is built on Micron’s 1-gamma DRAM technology and is capable of speeds up to 9,200 MT/s, which the company said is more than 40% faster than modules currently in volume production.

The announcement fits the next-generation data center theme because AI systems are increasingly constrained not only by accelerator supply but also by memory capacity, bandwidth, power use, and thermal limits. Micron said the module uses advanced packaging, including 3D stacking and through-silicon vias, to combine multiple memory dies in a single module. A single 256GB module can also reduce operating power by more than 40% compared with two 128GB modules, which matters as AI data centers try to increase server density without pushing past power and cooling limits. Micron is validating the module across current and next-generation server platforms, with the goal of accelerating production deployment for customers building AI and high-performance computing infrastructure at scale.
