| Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
| Segment Reporting Policy | We have the following four business units, which are our reportable segments: •Cloud Memory Business Unit (“CMBU”): Focused on memory solutions for large hyperscale cloud customers, and HBM for all data center customers. •Core Data Center Business Unit (“CDBU”): Focused on storage solutions for all data center customers, including data center SSDs and NAND components, and memory solutions for OEM data center, enterprise, and NeoCloud customers. •Mobile and Client Business Unit (“MCBU”): Focused on memory and storage solutions for the mobile and client segments. •Automotive and Embedded Business Unit (“AEBU”): Focused on memory and storage solutions for the automotive, industrial, and consumer segments. Our other operations do not meet the thresholds of a reportable segment and are reported under All Other. Certain operating expenses directly associated with the activities of a specific segment are charged to that segment. Other indirect operating income and expenses are generally allocated to segments based on their respective percentage of cost of goods sold or forecasted wafer production. Certain income and expenses are not allocated to segments because our CODM does not consider these amounts in the assessment of the performance of our segments. The unallocated amounts consisted primarily of stock-based compensation. Additionally, the unallocated amounts included $500 million of patent license charges in other operating (income) expense, net in 2026 and a $987 million benefit in cost of goods sold in 2024 from the sale of inventories that had been written down to their net realizable value in 2023.
