According to the report of "Electronic Times", citing the above-mentioned sources, Changxin Storage's 17nm process yield has initially reached 40%, and it is expected to gradually increase later in 2022. According to its plan, it will increase monthly production to 60,000 to 80,000 12-inch wafers in the second half of 2022.

Changxin Storage uses the 17nm process node as the next-generation mainstream manufacturing technology. The person believes that when its 17nm process yield is increased to a mature level, it will be able to increase DDR3 and DDR4 production capacity, and will compete directly with Taiwanese counterparts including Nanya Technology and Winbond Electronics in the professional DRAM field.

How does the Taiwan DRAM companies compete with China DRAM? What does the DRAM landscape look like?

Potentially it could get competitive if CXMT enters the same sales channels as everybody else. Even compared to current leading-edge DDR5, it's getting close:

Taiwan companies like Winbond and Nanya are keeping pace within the DRAM crowd.
