International Cyber Digest(@IntCyberDigest):❗️Chinese memory maker CXMT has reportedly just hit a milestone by reaching 90% yield on 17nm-class DDR5. It still can't buy EUV tools. Its dies run far larger than SK hynix's, so better yield doesn't mean cheaper RAM. Chinese DRAM is now inside HP, Asus and Acer laptops in small volumes and in non-US markets only. CXMT sits on the Pentagon's list of firms it says support China's military. The memory shortage is doing what years of US export pressure was meant to prevent: putting CXMT inside Western supply chains.
