Chinese chipmaker CXMT enters mass production of 5th-generation DRAM and 24Gb LPDDR5X mobile memory

@statementdogCXMT says its fifth-generation DRAM platform is now in mass production, along with two 24Gb LPDDR5X products built on it. The company says the platform has an 11.95nm half-pitch in the memory array’s active area, uses quadruple patterning, and has capacitors with a 45-to-1 aspect ratio. Analysts who initiated coverage of CXMT in late August had that generation, which they pegged at roughly 15nm class, going into mass production in H2 2028. They also had CXMT about two generations behind Samsung and Micron, with restricted EUV access as the main brake. Node class and array half-pitch are measured differently, so the 11.95nm figure does not directly map to the analysts’ 15nm classification. Their supply model counts about 300,000 wafers a month in 2026 and roughly 100,000 more each year after that. CXMT says the new platform gets more than 50% more gross die out of the same wafer at an 8Gb basis, its own figure, which would lift bit output without adding wafer starts. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/chinas-cxmt-says-new-memory-chip-platform-enters-mass-production-2026-09-20/

@CodingNoobieDAILY TECH NEWS ROUNDUP 🚨 Everything important that happened in tech during the last 24 hours: • CXMT has entered mass production of fifth-generation DRAM and launched 24Gb LPDDR5X chips, challenging Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron. • The U.S. and China opened talks on AI models, tariffs and critical minerals ahead of the Trump-Xi summit. • ASML has begun operations in India as the country expands its semiconductor ecosystem and Tata Electronics’ chip ambitions. • Alibaba’s Qwen team open-sourced Qwen-Image-2.1, a 7B image generation and editing model with support across major open-source AI tools. • Researchers found two Codex sandbox escapes that could let malicious code execute commands on a developer’s host, and OpenAI has patched them. • Google said Gemini breached three real companies during a security test, highlighting risks from autonomous AI agents interacting with live systems.

@CodingNoobieDetailed: • Chinese DRAM maker CXMT said its fifth-generation memory platform entered mass production, with a 11.95nm memory-array half-pitch and at least 50% more dies per wafer than its previous generation. CXMT also unveiled two 24Gb LPDDR5X chips, putting fresh pressure on Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron in mobile memory. (Reuters) • U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng opened talks in New York covering AI models, tariffs and critical minerals ahead of the Trump-Xi summit. Bessent said discussions include both open-weight and closed-weight AI models and potential guardrails around shared risks. (Reuters) • ASML has started operations in India and plans to initially hire 20 to 30 engineers, with further expansion tied to the growth of Tata Electronics' semiconductor fab and India's broader chip ecosystem. The move gives India's semiconductor push direct access to the world's leading advanced lithography equipment supplier. (The Economic Times) • Alibaba's Qwen team open-sourced Qwen-Image-2.1, a unified text-to-image and image-editing model with a 7B visual-generation component, native transparent-image support and support for up to 10 reference images. Diffusers, ComfyUI, vLLM-Omni and SGLang added Day-0 support, making it immediately usable across major open-source image-generation stacks. (GitHub) • Researchers disclosed two escapes from OpenAI's Codex sandbox that could allow code running in an untrusted repository to execute commands on a developer's host machine. OpenAI has patched both vulnerabilities, highlighting the security risks of increasingly capable coding agents with access to local development environments. (http://bleepingcomputer.com) • Google confirmed that Gemini breached three real companies during a cybersecurity test after the model received unintended internet access and encountered real systems matching the fictional targets. In one case it guessed credentials, while in two others it found credentials exposed in public repositories, underscoring the risks of autonomous AI agents interacting with live infrastructure.

@durr0_0China’s CXMT says its fifth-generation DRAM platform has entered mass production. Unveiled 24Gb LPDDR5X parts are already in mass production; claims ~12nm feature spacing via quadruple patterning and ≥50% more dies per wafer vs the 4th-gen platform. This positions CXMT as a stronger challenger to Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron in DRAM. NFA. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/chinas-cxmt-says-new-memory-chip-platform-enters-mass-production-2026-09-20/

@cipherwrkQwen just cooked. Qwen-Image-2.1 is out: a 7B open-weight model that generates and edits in one package •Transparent images out of the box •Up to 10 reference photos •Fast enough to actually use •Tight edits on faces and products •Strong on panoramas, infographics and try-ons Open weights. No gatekeeping

@ModelScope2022ModelScope now supports both inference and LoRA training for Qwen-Image-2.1 in the Civision.🎉 Jump in and start creating!👉https://modelscope.ai/civision

@HuggingPapersAlibaba's Qwen team just released a prompt rewriting model for Qwen-Image 2.1 on Hugging Face It turns a brief image request in any language into a detailed English prompt plus a recommended aspect ratio.

@caixinChinese memory-chip maker CXMT has achieved mass production at its fifth-generation DRAM technology platform, intensifying competition in a global market dominated by foreign companies. https://www.caixinglobal.com/2026-09-21/cxmt-begins-mass-production-of-fifth-generation-memory-chips-102487023.html?rkey=4jojc%2BU9Dvsngy8ZDEibRfFL%2FE7ci4pKqtN1xUD9x%2B5pOtIXmszGxQ%3D%3D&cxg=web&Sfrom=twitter
