China’s top memory chip maker CXMT narrows tech gap with leaders Samsung, Hynix, Micron
ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) has successfully advanced its DRAM chip manufacturing technology to 16 nanometres, significantly narrowing the competitiveness gap with dominant players like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology. This milestone is especially impressive given the backdrop of ongoing US sanctions against Chinese tech companies. Their new 16-gigabit chip leverages DDR5 technology, positioning CXMT well in the market expected to thrive through 2027.
The new chip, measuring approximately 67 square millimetres, boasts a storage density of 0.239Gb per square millimetre, showing a 20 percent reduction in memory cell size compared to its previous G3 technology. CXMT's evolution from its G1 node at 23nm to the current G4 highlights significant strides in technological capabilities, allowing the company to compete more effectively on the global stage. These advancements not only underscore CXMT's progress but also mark a notable achievement for China's semiconductor industry amidst challenging international relations.
