China's CXMT begins producing DDR5 memory — first China-made DDR5 sticks reportedly aimed at consumer PCs


Will it flood the market with cheap DDR5?

Experts questioned by the website estimate a production yield of approximately 80%, though they did not disclose details about which ICs were analyzed. The first reports about CXMT's DDR5 SDRAM emerged in 2022, and it was expected that these ICs would be made using a 17nm-class DRAM process technology, so the rumors appear to have some basis. If CXMT takes market share away from Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix in China, those companies will be forced to redirect their DDR5 output elsewhere, increasing competition and driving down prices.
