So, that’s 48 GB of “domestically produced”, ie, Chinese, DDR5 RAM hitting 9,000 MT/s. Admittedly, we’re far beyond that with Western memory, having hit over 8,700 MT/s all the way back in 2021 and 10,000 MT/s the following year. Now, we’re at over 13,000 MT/s.

Still, 9,000 is an achievement for Chinese memory and shows how fast the country is progressing in its DRAM development. In fact, Asus ROG also recently shared that Chinese memory now works at 6,000 MT/s with low CAS latency timings of C28 and C30. Notably, this is exactly the kind of fast DDR5 RAM we like to buy for gaming PCs in the West: DDR5-6000 memory with low latency.

The main Chinese memory maker is CXMT, and we’ve recently seen the company’s shares surge as it continues to collect more of the global memory market. This is possible because there’s just so much demand for memory these days, thanks to the AI boom, that demand far outstrips supply and will do for quite some time.
