A Colorful RAM kit powered by CXMT chips has broken the DDR5-9000 barrier for the first time on a motherboard with the AMD X870E chipset. This result narrows the gap between Chinese semiconductor solutions and products from industry giants such as Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron.
A New Frequency Record and Decent Under-Latency Performance
On the Colorful iGame X870E Vulcan W OC motherboard, two 24 GB iGame Shadow II modules (48 GB total) powered by CXMT chips have overclocked to DDR5-9014 mode. Late last year, similar modules could barely surpass the DDR5-8000 mark.
Additionally, on an Asus platform, the Chinese memory demonstrated high stability at DDR5-6000 with ultra-low latencies, giving users maximum flexibility when tuning their systems.
Manufacturing Quality on Par with Samsung
CXMT currently manufactures DDR5 chips on a 17nm process, achieving a yield rate above 90%. For comparison, South Korean Samsung achieves a yield rate only a few percentage points higher with its 10nm-class memory production. These results indicate that the Chinese semiconductor industry has virtually eliminated its lag behind the "Big Three" of Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron.
