Chinese DRAM manufacturer CXMT has moved its fifth-generation technology platform into mass production, unveiling two 24Gb LPDDR5X memory chips designed for smartphones.

CXMT (688825.SS) announced the milestone on Sunday, marking a significant step in the company's effort to compete in the mobile memory sector. The two new 24Gb LPDDR5X products represent the chipmaker's latest advancement in high-speed, low-power DRAM technology. LPDDR5X memory is a key component for flagship smartphones, enabling faster processing and improved power efficiency. The transition to mass production suggests CXMT is ready for commercial deployment with device manufacturers. The announcement underscores China's continued push to reduce reliance on foreign semiconductor suppliers. CXMT, one of China's leading domestic DRAM producers, competes primarily against South Korean and U.S.-based manufacturers. The company's fifth-generation platform represents incremental progress in memory chip density and performance metrics. Mass production timelines typically precede major smartphone releases by several months, indicating potential integration into upcoming devices.
