Apple Tests CXMT DRAM Chips to Ease Tight Memory Supply
Apple is testing DRAM chips from China’s ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) across iPhones and MacBooks as AI-driven demand keeps memory supply tight and raises hardware costs. If CXMT chips meet Apple’s technical and quality standards, the company could gain a second DRAM source and more supply-chain flexibility, though regulatory and customization obstacles may limit adoption.
