Chinese semiconductor manufacturer ChangXin Memory Technologies has launched its debut DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory products at the 2025 China International Semiconductor Expo, positioning itself as a domestic alternative to Samsung, SK hynix and Micron. The DDR5 chips arrive in 16-gigabit and 24-gigabit configurations with transfer rates reaching 8,000 megatransfers per second, while LPDDR5X variants deliver speeds up to 10,667 megatransfers per second across 12-gigabit and 16-gigabit options.
CXMT will supply these integrated circuits for multiple form factors spanning data centers, desktop computers and laptops. Memory module maker ASGARD has already demonstrated gaming kits using the new chips for overclocking applications.
The timing coincides with global DRAM shortages driven by artificial intelligence sector demand, enabling China to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers while stabilizing domestic pricing pressures.
