Chinese memory brands shift to domestic CXMT and YMTC chips

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Chinese memory manufacturers are increasingly opting for domestic silicon from companies like CXMT and YMTC, moving away from established giants such as Samsung and Micron. This shift is partly driven by government support and a focus on technological self-sufficiency within China. Major brands like Gloway and KingBank are already producing DDR5 memory modules with these homegrown chips, and companies like Corsair, HP, and Dell are beginning to integrate them into their products.
