China's CXMT to start advanced AI memory production despite poor yields
The decision highlights China's intense shortage of the AI memory chips, which are essential to a government-backed push to develop domestic alternatives to Nvidia's AI processors at scale amid US curbs on access to foreign-made technology.
Changxin Memory Technologies Co. (CXMT), China's largest DRAM maker, is reportedly set to proceed with production of HBM3E, the fifth-generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), despite yields remaining at only 20–30%. This move comes as Chinese AI semiconductor companies struggle to secure advanced memory due to U.S. export controls, prompting the company to proceed with supply at the risk of low yields. According to Reuters on the 28th, CXMT [supp…
