Research and Development [Abstract] |
Research and Development | Research and Development We share the cost of certain product and process development activities with development partners. Our R&D expenses were reduced by $60 million, $201 million, and $213 million for 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, pursuant to reimbursements under these arrangements. We have had agreements to jointly develop NAND and 3D XPoint technologies with Intel. In 2018, we and Intel agreed to independently develop subsequent generations of 3D NAND and we substantially completed this cost-sharing arrangement in the third quarter of 2019. In 2018, we announced that we and Intel will no longer jointly develop 3D XPoint technology beyond the second generation and we substantially completed this cost-sharing arrangement in the first quarter of 2020.
