Corsair Vengeance DDR5 Kit Now Uses CXMT DRAM Chips

Corsair has released a new Vengeance DDR5 memory kit that utilizes DRAM chips manufactured by Chinese memory maker CXMT. The specific model is the CMK5X16G3E60C36A2-CN, which is an exclusive release for the China market. This development marks the first time that CXMT DRAM chips have been integrated into a mainstream Corsair Vengeance product line.

New Corsair memory module features Chinese-made DRAM chips.

The memory module operates at a speed of 6,000 MT/s with CL36 timings and requires 1.35V of voltage. It supports both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles for easy overclocking compatibility across major platforms. The kit represents a significant step in the adoption of Chinese-made DRAM chips within the consumer PC hardware sector.

This release occurs against a backdrop of global memory shortages that have impacted availability and pricing for many components. CXMT's entry into the mainstream consumer market positions its products as a potential antidote to these ongoing supply constraints. The move demonstrates growing confidence in domestic Chinese semiconductor manufacturing capabilities among established Western brands.

Corsair has not confirmed whether this specific kit will expand beyond the China region or if other Vengeance models will adopt CXMT chips. The company maintains that this particular module is designated for the Chinese market only. Industry observers view this partnership as a strategic response to shifting supply chain dynamics in the memory industry.
