A particularly surprising discovery is that CXMT is constructing its cleanrooms—where the actual silicon is produced—in just around 12 months, whereas the rest of the DRAM manufacturing industry typically takes 21-24 months, nearly a full year longer.

Finally, the report notes that the Chinese government is encouraging CXMT to transfer its DRAM technology IP to other Chinese DRAM manufacturers such as JHICC, Swaysure, and YTMC’s subsidiary XMC. This initiative aims to alleviate memory shortages domestically before CAMT-designed DRAM enters other markets, such as the EU and possibly even the U.S.

    Fuck CXMT and every other Chinese action, if you think they’re in it for your interests then you’re a bigger dupe than a Trump supporter.

      They aren’t in it for me, but Micron nor SK Hynix give any shits about me either.

          I mean, we don’t actually know that. Micron may very well take that position if given the opportunity in exchange for profit. They do already run a cartel after all.

            They might make some decisions against their own interests in the name of lowering taxes, but they can’t profit off of a country of dead bodies and if you live under an autocracy then so will they.

            Chinese government has no such incentives holding them back.
