Someone Found Chinese NAND Flash in a Corsair Vengeance Memory Kit
Corsair may be exploring a new source for its NAND Flash chips from Chinese manufacturer ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT). This move comes amid ongoing global memory shortages and rising prices. CXMT, a relatively new player in the market, is expanding its presence and could be supplying Corsair with memory products.
- ▪Corsair is reportedly using NAND Flash chips from CXMT in its Vengeance memory kits.
- ▪The global memory market has faced consistent price hikes due to increased demand from data centers.
- ▪CXMT aims to capture a significant share of the global DRAM market with a planned expansion in 2025.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
As the global memory shortage continues, Corsair memory may be trialing a new source for its NAND Flash chips, VideoCardz reports. An X user posted screenshots of some Corsair Vengeance memory they were running and found that the underlying NAND Flash chips on the sticks were made by China-based ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT). This could be a sign of memory companies diversifying as best they can to avoid steeper price rises.The past year has seen consistent and repeated memory price hikes. As data centers gobbled up all the available RAM and encouraged memory producers like Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix to produce server-friendly HBM instead of DDR, shortages and rising costs abound.
