BREAKING: Memory prices could COLLAPSE as China rapidly floods the market with DRAM and NAND chips. China's CXMT RAM is selling for $150, while the global average price is around $300 to $400. Chinese memory giants CXMT and YMTC are aggressively ramping production, threatening the dominance of Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron. CXMT now controls 7.7% of the global DRAM market and YMTC already holds 11 to 13% of the global NAND flash market. CXMT revenue already exploded 719% YoY in Q1 2026 to 50.8 billion yuan ($7.4B), swinging from losses to massive profits. Chinese memory chips are often priced 15%+ below competitors, making them highly attractive for consumer PCs, servers, and storage devices. Corsair already testing DDR5 modules using CXMT chips, while other brands like Acer and Asus asking suppliers to source Chinese memory. China’s strategy is simple - flood the memory market with cheap DRAM and NAND chips, undercut competitors and capture global market share. Samsung adviser Kyung Kye hyun already warned memory prices could fall back toward low levels by 2028 if supply expands too quickly.
