China's CXMT bets on new DRAM architecture to bypass US chip curbs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) is developing a new dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) architecture called 4F² to navigate US chip restrictions. The company intends to provide samples of its server-grade DRAM product using this architecture to customers by the end of the year. This approach contrasts with US competitor Micron Technology, which has opted for different strategies. AI

IMPACT This development could impact the supply chain and cost of AI hardware components.
