Im a little out the loop on this; what's the upshot from a tech and competitor perspective?

Cheaper prices mostly. They can get more NAND ICs from one wafer and thus reduce prices. That will give Micron a competitive advantage.

Hmm, while it may be cheaper for them, one third the P/E cycles, according to some sources, doesn't sound like a win-win for the consumer.
