Changxin Memory Technologies launches fifth-gen DRAM platform, expands research in Beijing
What happened
Changxin Memory Technologies commenced commercial output of its fifth-generation DRAM platform, which includes two 24-gigabit LPDDR5X components intended for smartphones and portable hardware. The company reported that this new platform delivers at least 50 per cent more gross dies per wafer compared to its previous process. Additionally, Changxin Memory Technologies is preparing an experimental research facility in Beijing to evaluate expansion into NAND flash memory.
