CXMT's 17nm DDR5 chip yield has surpassed 90%, putting it within about 2 percentage points of Samsung's same-generation 92% to 93% level and placing its technical metrics among the global top tier, according to a report cited by ChainCatcher. Several major PC makers completed certification of CXMT DRAM chips around mid-year and have begun small-batch installation in some notebook models. Adoption strategies differ sharply by brand: Dell does not use CXMT chips, HP limits their use to mainland China, and Acer and Asus are installing them in models aimed at mainland China and emerging markets. The report said CXMT's products are still having only a limited effect on pricing across the three dominant memory suppliers because Samsung, SK hynix and Micron are currently more focused on supplying LPDDR5, while CXMT's present strategy centers on expanding DDR5 shipments. PC industry executives said any large-scale rollout requires caution because the three incumbents still hold more than 90% of the global DRAM market, and the number of models using CXMT chips, as well as shipment volumes, remains small.
