China's CXMT to launch HBM3E production amid low yield rates

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

ChangXin Memory Technologies, China's largest DRAM manufacturer, is preparing to launch limited production of HBM3E chips within two months. However, only 20-30% of these chips are currently meeting specifications, a stark contrast to SK Hynix's approximately 70% yield rate. This low yield means a significant portion of CXMT's output is scrapped or requires rework, with US export restrictions further complicating their efforts. AI

IMPACT Low yield rates for HBM3E production could impact the availability and cost of critical AI infrastructure components.
