Chinese CXMT to Match Micron's DRAM Manufacturing Capacity This Year (www.techpowerup.com)

A particularly surprising discovery is that CXMT is constructing its cleanrooms—where the actual silicon is produced—in just around 12 months, whereas the rest of the DRAM manufacturing industry typically takes 21-24 months, nearly a full year longer.

Finally, the report notes that the Chinese government is encouraging CXMT to transfer its DRAM technology IP to other Chinese DRAM manufacturers such as JHICC, Swaysure, and YTMC's subsidiary XMC. This initiative aims to alleviate memory shortages domestically before CAMT-designed DRAM enters other markets, such as the EU and possibly even the U.S.

I mean... Also assuming this is all real, and the rushed schedule doesn't produce low quality botched RAM sticks that die in six months.

When it comes to products from China, they can be incredible; unprecedented quality for so much cheaper! Or they can be exactly what everyone says they are and end up in a landfill after a short amount of time.

It's quite the coin flip.

But quick delivery would lead a bubble pop....

Just like back in 2008 the investors will try to fake it until they can't and the entire economy will crash over the whole world.

China making a crap ton of RAM won't help with that.
