"Over on the (sighs) PC Master Race subreddit, one of the largest PC gaming communities on the internet, people have been talking about Chinese tech company CXMT with some hoping that the DRAM maker could help produce more consumer RAM while the bigger players, like Samsung, pivot to supporting companies hungry for parts and memory to power future AI data centers."
"First, the good news: RAM using CXMT chips is comparable in gaming performance to RAM sticks created by bigger-name companies like Samsung and SK Hynix. In a new and comprehensive report. TechSpot tested Kingbank-produced RAM containing CXMT bits against G.Skill RAM using SK Hynix memory. And the results in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Rainbow Six Siege were promising, with the cheaper Kingbank RAM performing within a few percentage points of the more expensive G.Skill RAM."
Gamers hoped Chinese DRAM maker CXMT could help reduce rising RAM prices caused by a memory shortage driven by AI hyperscalers and tech giants. CXMT 32GB DDR4 modules priced under $150 attracted attention as a more affordable option while DDR4 demand increases. Independent testing found CXMT-based Kingbank RAM delivers gaming performance comparable to SK Hynix/Samsung-equipped sticks, performing within a few percentage points in titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Rainbow Six Siege. Recent CXMT module prices have risen, limiting immediate consumer relief. Larger manufacturers continue shifting capacity toward AI data center demand, constraining CXMT's potential to fill global supply gaps.
