China's CXMT Begins DDR5 Memory Production

ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), a Chinese memory manufacturer, has reportedly begun producing DDR5 memory chips. This development could have significant implications for the global DRAM market. Multiple reports indicate that third-party memory module makers in China have started selling DDR5 DRAM sticks based on CXMT's chips. While CXMT hasn't officially announced its DDR5 production, this suggests they are mass-producing enough chips for the open market. Production and Technology CXMT's DDR5 is believed to be produced using their G3 process, which has a line width of 17.5nm. Experts estimate a production yield of around 80%. It’s worth noting that previous reports pointed to a 17nm-class DRAM process. Analyst firm TechInsights suggests that CXMT may be utilizing its G4 fabrication technology to manufacture DDR5. Market Impact Potential for Lower Prices: CXMT's entry into the DDR5 market could lead to lower prices if they choose to undercut existing compe…
