PC Manufacturers Eyeing Chinese Memory

According to reports, major PC manufacturers like HP and Dell are considering using DRAM chips produced by the Chinese company CXMT (ChangXin Memory Technologies). Acer and Asus, for their part, have reportedly asked their Chinese partners to source locally-made memory chips.

This potential transition to Chinese-made memory could have several implications. On one hand, it could lead to a reduction in production costs, thanks to the potentially more competitive prices offered by Chinese manufacturers. On the other hand, it raises questions about supply chain diversification and dependence on a single market.

Market Implications

The adoption of Chinese memory by global brands could represent a significant opportunity for CXMT and the Chinese semiconductor industry in general. At the same time, it could intensify competition in the global DRAM market, with possible repercussions on prices and market shares of traditional manufacturers.
