Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT has begun producing next-generation memory chips that compete directly with US and Korean makers, hitting Micron (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) with supply competition fears. Despite this headwind, the broader AI infrastructure narrative remains intact with Astera Labs demonstrating new modular rack-scale designs and C3.Ai receiving an upgrade, creating a divergence between pure-play AI software and memory hardware.
