China's CXMT challenges SK Hynix with record DDR5-8800 speeds on AMD

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Chinese memory manufacturer ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) has achieved a significant milestone by enabling DDR5-8800 speeds on an AMD platform, challenging established players like SK Hynix. Despite facing U.S. export restrictions that limit access to advanced EUV equipment, CXMT's chips, produced on a 16nm DUV process, are increasingly being adopted by major memory brands and even consumer device manufacturers like HP, Asus, and Acer. The company's recent IPO saw its stock price surge, reflecting its ambition to capture a substantial market share from industry leaders by 2030. AI
