Lexar launches Chinese-made DDR5 RAM at $592, failing to lower prices

Lexar has released a 32GB DDR5 memory kit in China featuring domestically produced DRAM chips, potentially from CXMT, priced at 3,999 yuan (approximately $592). This kit, part of the Thor RGB series, supports Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles and has a compatibility list that includes numerous ASUS and MSI motherboards. Despite expectations that a new domestic DRAM supplier like CXMT would lower prices, Lexar's offering is priced similarly to comparable kits from international brands, indicating no significant price reduction yet.
