China\'s CXMT pushes for mass production of LPDDR6 memory chips
China\'s memory chipmaker CXMT is pushing to mass-produce LPDDR6 memory chips, WCCFTech reported on Friday, citing Chinese local media. The report comes days after news that SK Hynix plans to begin LPDDR6 mass production in the second half of 2026. Chinese media said CXMT\'s DDR6 chips have completed an R&D verification stage and would next move to small-batch production verification.

IT device shrinkflation intensifies as prices rise and capacity halves
Shrinkflation, where prices rise while specifications fall, is spreading across global IT devices including smartphones, laptops, consoles and desktops. The shift by SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics and Micron toward high-bandwidth memory for AI data centres is reducing supply of standard DRAM and NAND, supporting higher RAM prices. Set makers are passing margin pressure to consumers through price hikes and specification cuts, a trend the industry expects to persist until mass production of DDR6 ramps up.
