Micron's run supplying memory for NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series appears to be over. As unikoshardware spotted on X, Micron's official part catalog now lists both of its 2GB GDDR7 chips, the 28 Gbps MT68A512M32DF-28:A and the 32 Gbps MT68A512M32DF-32:A, with a status of "End of Life," meaning the company has completely halted production.
The company spent a notably short time producing the 2GB GDDR7 modules. Micron only joined NVIDIA's GDDR7 supply chain in mid-2025, and it wasn't until February of this year that its chips were actually sighted on an RTX 50 mobile series GPU. In less than a year, the company appears to have pulled the plug on the exact chips it had just begun supplying, without any public explanation.

This shift shouldn't cause any dramatic supply collapse on its own, as Micron was never the primary source. But if it was covering even a small slice of total volume, its exit adds more tension to a memory market that's already under serious strain. NVIDIA has pushed through multiple GPU-memory price hikes this year, and board partners were forced to raise RTX 50 series pricing in response.
Fortunately, Micron isn't leaving the GDDR7 space entirely. Instead, it's just shifting away from the 2GB density. The company still produces 3GB GDDR7 modules, but those chips currently cost more than standard 2GB parts and have been reported as largely unworkable for most of the current RTX 50 stack. Higher-density 4GB and 6GB GDDR7 chips are still expected to be released at least two years later.

Does Micron ending 2GB GDDR7 production affect RTX 50 laptop availability or just memory sourcing?
Why were Micron's 3GB GDDR7 modules considered largely unworkable for most of the current RTX 50 lineup?
Are Samsung and SK hynix now the only suppliers for RTX 50 series 2GB GDDR7 memory?
Could Micron's exit from 2GB GDDR7 lead to further RTX 50 price increases from board partners?

For now, it doesn't look like RTX 50 series availability will worsen overnight, but it's another sign the GPU memory market isn't getting any better anytime soon. If anything, losing a modest supplier instead of gaining one is not the direction a market struggling to keep prices under control wants to head.
