Recently a bunch of motherboard and component makers have been validating their stuff for Chinese-made memory. That's brands including biggies, such as MSI and Asus. The reason, it turns out, is apparently a massive ramp up in the amount of DRAM production coming from China, especially from memory maker CXMT.

Basing their analysis largely on Citrini's research, analyst Zephyr on X explains that, with all the changes afoot for the company, "CXMT can potentially add 600k-1.1M WPM [wafers per month] of DRAM capacity and have a total capacity of around 950k-1.45M WPM."
