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.

    Watch how quickly the US government will try to ban them in the name of security. They’ll claim that they transmit RAM data to the Chinese government 😛.

      I hope they do. More for the rest of the world. If Americans want RAM they should start looting data centers.

      The US doesn’t manufacture RAM. But becoming reliant on a country so hellbent on dismantling democracy would be unwise.

        It’s unclear to me whether you are referencing China or United States, and that makes me sad.

        China is “hellbent on dismantling democracy”?

        Do tell! Which terrorists have the sponsored? Who have they recently invaded? Ooo did they capture the leader of a sovereign state? Does money control all of their politics?

        Oh dear, you just summoned the tankies.

        This talisman will ward them off:
