JAKARTA - Leading PC manufacturers such as HP, Dell, Acer, and Asus plan to use Chinese-made memory chips. This step is taken to overcome the threat of a global supply crisis.
Currently, the industry is facing a memory chip crisis. This problem not only affects smartphones, but also tablets, laptops, and other devices. If not handled, this problem could affect end users.
According to a report by Nikkei Asia, as reported by Reuters, HP has started the product qualification process from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT). That way, HP can increase their memory chip supply.
HP plans to monitor the supply situation until mid-2026. If the price of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) remains high, HP will likely start supplying from CXMT for markets outside the US.
Dell is also rumored to be doing the same thing with CXMT. This decision is driven by the company's concerns about memory prices that will continue to soar throughout this year.
Meanwhile, Acer openly stated that they would use Chinese-made memory chips if supplied by their contract partners. Asus also asked for the help of production partners in China for the procurement of memory chips in several notebook projects.
Until now, HP, Dell, Acer, and Asus have not given an official response regarding the report of this plan to procure memory chips. However, the use of chips made in China can be a short-term solution to maintain the availability of laptop devices.
