According to Taiwanese media reports, Taiwanese PC brands are expanding their adoption of Chinese-made memory to cut costs.


Specifically, Taiwanese brands including ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, and Acer are accelerating the certification, adoption, and platform tuning of the relevant components, with Chinese memory and storage parts gradually penetrating the PC supply chain.
Taiwanese motherboard makers have long incorporated memory and storage components from multiple brands through validation, and both GIGABYTE and MSI have already adopted CXMT memory dies in some of their motherboard models.
MSI in particular recently announced that, using commercially available memory modules such as KingBank and Lexar, its development team has completed optimal tuning for CXMT memory dies on AMD-platform motherboards. With this, MSI became the first motherboard brand to publicly complete DDR5-8000+ validation of CXMT DDR5 dies on the AMD platform.
ASUS also launched its own-brand memory, "ROG ARCANA DDR5," featuring genuine SK Hynix dies this year, and has further expanded its ROG Certified memory certification program—licensing the production and promotion of ROG-branded memory module lineups. Among the participating Chinese vendors are BIWIN, Asgard, and Lexar.
Acer previously launched memory modules manufactured by BIWIN (on an OEM basis) under its own brand and its Predator gaming sub-brand family, some of which use CXMT standard-grade dies or modules. That said, neither ASUS nor Acer (the "Double-A") offers many mid-to-high-end or premium laptop models that use memory or storage components built with genuine dies from Chinese manufacturers.
