TechChinese DRAM maker CXMT enters mass production of advanced G5 memory platform and 24Gb LPDDR5X chips
CXMT announced Sept 20 that its G5 platform using DUV quadruple patterning (~11.95 nm half-pitch, no EUV) boosts dies per wafer by ≥50% versus prior generation. New LPDDR5X chips hold 50% more data and are in volume production for flagship Chinese smartphones.
TLDR
This represents tangible Chinese progress in advanced memory manufacturing without restricted EUV tools, intensifying competition with Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron in commodity and mobile memory segments. It signals ongoing momentum in Chinese semiconductor capability amid US-China tech tensions and discussions on AI, critical minerals, and supply chain security.
