Apple is testing memory chips from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), China's largest chipmaker, in its iPhone and MacBook product lines as part of efforts to ease a memory shortage driven by the artificial-intelligence boom, the Wall Street Journal reported. Citing people familiar with the matter, the Journal said Apple and CXMT have held preliminary talks about component supplies, with plans to use the chips in some devices sold in China. Reuters has reported that CXMT is considering building a second memory-chip factory in Beijing to boost capacity. In a separate development, laptop makers HP and Acer have already begun using CXMT chips in devices sold outside the U.S. market, also to relieve supply constraints.
