Chinese memory-chip maker ChangXin Memory Technologies is moving closer to a vanguard position amid the global DRAM race with one of the earliest commercial deployments of LPDDR6 in a flagship smartphone, industry experts said on Monday.

业内专家周一表示，在全球DRAM（动态随机存取存储器）竞争中，中国存储芯片企业长鑫存储正加速向行业前沿迈进。其LPDDR6产品将率先实现商业化应用，搭载于一款旗舰智能手机。

They made the comments as CXMT said on Saturday that it had begun mass production of its self-developed LPDDR6 DRAM, which will debut in Xiaomi’s upcoming 18 Fold handset.

长鑫存储周六宣布，其自主研发的LPDDR6 DRAM已实现量产，并将在小米即将推出的18 Fold手机上首发搭载。

The chip has a peak data-transfer rate of 12,800 megabits per second and capacity of up to 16 gigabytes.

这款芯片的峰值数据传输速率可达每秒12800兆比特，最高容量达16GB。

"For a Chinese company that only began mass-producing its first DRAM products in 2019, the bigger significance is not simply being first with one product," said Wang Peng, a researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences.

北京社会科学院研究员王鹏表示：“对于一家直到2019年才开始量产首批DRAM产品的中国企业而言，更大的意义并不只是某一款产品实现率先突破。”

"It put CXMT into the first wave of competition around the latest mobile-memory standard alongside global heavyweights Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and Micron Technology," Wang said.

“这意味着长鑫存储已经跻身最新一代移动存储标准的第一梯队，与三星电子、SK海力士和美光科技等全球行业巨头同场竞技。”王鹏说。

LPDDR6 is designed to raise memory bandwidth and parallelism while cutting power consumption, with these features becoming increasingly important as artificial intelligence models migrate from cloud data centers into phones, PCs, cars and other modalities.

LPDDR6旨在提高内存带宽和并行处理能力，同时降低功耗。随着人工智能模型逐步从云端数据中心向手机、个人电脑、汽车等各类终端迁移，这些性能正变得愈发重要。

The Xiaomi partnership adds another dimension. It puts a Chinese-designed mobile processor and the country's newest-generation DRAM together inside a premium smartphone.
