Numonyx

Numonyx was a joint venture formed in 2008 by Intel and STMicroelectronics to combine their NOR flash memory businesses. The company focused on developing and manufacturing NOR flash memory solutions used in a variety of applications, including embedded systems, wireless devices, and automotive electronics.

The creation of Numonyx allowed Intel and STMicroelectronics to better compete in the rapidly evolving flash memory market by pooling resources and expertise. The company aimed to become a leading supplier of NOR flash memory, offering a broad range of products to meet diverse customer needs.

Numonyx offered both parallel and serial NOR flash memory products, catering to different performance and density requirements. The company emphasized innovation and sought to develop advanced memory technologies that would enhance the capabilities of electronic devices.

In 2010, Micron Technology acquired Numonyx. This acquisition significantly expanded Micron's memory portfolio and strengthened its position in the flash memory market. The integration of Numonyx into Micron brought together complementary technologies and customer relationships, further enhancing Micron's ability to serve the needs of the global electronics industry. Following the acquisition, the Numonyx brand was discontinued, and its products and technologies became part of the broader Micron product line.
