China Pushes AI Memory Chips Despite 70% Failure Rate

China's largest DRAM maker is reportedly preparing to begin limited production of advanced memory chips within the next two months, despite an estimated 70% failure rate. The move reflects how badly Chinese tech firms need AI-grade memory as US export controls restrict access to leading foreign suppliers, pushing domestic chipmakers to run risky production lines anyway.

Why now: US export restrictions have created a shortage of AI memory in China, so domestic production at poor yields is seen as a notable sign of how far the country will go to fill the gap
