CXMT Could Add More Than 100,000 DRAM Wafers per Month Within a Year

Chinese memory chip maker CXMT could add more than 100,000 DRAM wafers of monthly capacity within a year, according to a report by Wccftech. The report cites research from TrendForce and Counterpoint Research.

The research suggests CXMT could produce as many as 600,000 wafers per month by the end of 2028, potentially doubling its memory production capacity by that year. These are projections, not confirmed production figures.

The reports place CXMT's expansion in the context of a DRAM shortage. Demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), which uses stacked DRAM modules, is contributing to pressure on supply. The source says CXMT is aiming to serve consumer electronics affected by the shortage, while the research sees the company playing a role in the general-purpose DRAM market.
