Shares of memory chipmaker Micron Technology (MU) tumbled 12% as a chip sell-off deepened on Thursday. Peer SK Hynix (SKHY), along with memory and storage names Sandisk (SNDK), Seagate (STX), and Western Digital (WDC) were all down double-digit percentages during the session.

AI chipmakers Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) sank 6% and 13%, respectively, on Thursday. Broadcom (AVGO) also sank 6%.
