The AI-driven memory and storage chip shortage is driving OEMs towards Chinese chip manufacturers.

Germany's District Court Munich I ruled on July 3 that Innoscience infringed Infineon Technologies' gallium nitride (GaN) patents, barring the Chinese chipmaker from importing, selling, or marketing the affected products in Germany and ordering it to pay damages.

GigaDevice Technology Group has warned investors of heightened stock trading risks following its share price surge in recent weeks. The Chinese chipmaker said the move has lifted valuation levels well above industry averages, while cyclical swings in the memory market could later pressure earnings, a concern with potential relevance for global semiconductor investors.

Following a big price hike earlier this week, Apple is reportedly lobbying the Trump administration for approval to buy memory chips from Chinese semiconductor firm CXMT. Apple chalked up the price increases, which hit iPads and MacBooks, to the ongoing memory chip shortage, which is threatening to push up prices for many types of consumer electronics. CXMT is listed on the government's 1260H li

As AI demand prolongs shortages in memory chip supply, global technology companies are increasingly turning to Chinese-made semiconductors. However, industry analysts believe that even if major tech firms are interested in adopting Chinese chips, translating that interest into actual supply agreements remains difficult due to several significant obstacles.

JCET Group is accelerating its AI chip packaging expansion with a CNY7.8 billion (US$1.1 billion) investment in a new advanced packaging and testing plant in Shanghai Lingang, strengthening capacity for AI computing, high-performance chips, high-density memory and automotive electronics.

The global power semiconductor supply chain is undergoing another reshuffling, after Chinese chipmaker Nexperia triggered disruptions in 2025 and, more recently, China's Yangjie Technology was added to the European Union sanctions list.

United Nova Technology (UNT) is expanding from automotive and industrial chips into AI server power management and optical interconnects through a CNY20 billion (US$3 billion) 12-inch mixed-signal fab project.

ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) is gaining attention as a potential new force in the global DRAM market, but memory module vendors say the Chinese chipmaker is not offering the low-cost DDR5 supply many in the PC sector had hoped for.
