CXMT says its new memory platform produces 50% more chips per wafer

Chinese memory maker CXMT announced G5 mass production on September 20. The company says the platform produces at least 50% more gross chips per wafer than its previous platform, based on an 8-gigabit comparison.

CXMT also introduced two 24-gigabit LPDDR5X products for phones and portable devices. Reuters reports that the company is seeking a stronger position against established global memory suppliers.

That count includes chips that may fail testing. CXMT did not say how many usable chips come from each wafer. The company provided no independent evidence for its cost claims.

The new products are phone memory. Their release does not prove that CXMT can supply the high-bandwidth memory used with leading AI accelerators.

Customer shipments, independent tests and usable yields could show whether buyers have a reliable alternative. A wafer with more chips matters only if enough of them work.
