Over the past several days, multiple reports have emerged that various China-based third-party memory module makers have begun selling DDR5 DRAM sticks for enthusiasts based on DDR5 chips produced by the China-based ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT). CXMT has never publicly announced its DDR5, so if it mass-produces enough DDR5 chips to sell to third-party module makers, this could have significant market implications — particularly if it begins dumping products on the market that undercut the standard pricing.
CXMT's DDR5 memory is believed to be produced using CXMT's G3 process, which has a line width of 17.5nm, reports ZDNet Korea, citing its sources. Experts questioned by the website estimate a production yield of approximately 80%, though they did not disclose details about which ICs were analyzed.
