>Micron does not have plans to transit all of its products to its 4th Generation RG-based 3D NAND technology, and it has already warned its investors not to expect a meaningful company-wide cost-per-bit reduction this year as result of this technology transition.
Why? It reads to me as there are trade off somewhere that is not mentioned.
ksec, Micron is rolling it out in one Fab and perfecting the process before rolling it out to all the other Fabs worldwide. The massive costs associated with retooling and implementing RG is why there isn't a meaningful cost-per-bit reduction, even though they have more layers.
Great technologies of the future, I am just writing an article about this with. Will this technology be compatible with conventional motherboards or is this technology intended for highly specialized tasks ???

Presumably the early phase of a production ramp up is more costly than later on when everything is running smoothly.Adramtech - Thursday, April 2, 2020 - link
