China's CXMT produces HBM3E chips, aiming to close AI memory gap

China's leading memory manufacturer, ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), has begun producing HBM3E chips in small quantities. This high-bandwidth memory is crucial for advanced AI processors, and its domestic production by CXMT aims to reduce China's reliance on foreign suppliers for critical AI hardware components. AI

IMPACT This development could reduce reliance on foreign HBM3E suppliers, potentially impacting global AI hardware supply chains.
