Lenovo Group, a worldwide frontrunner in PC shipments, has recently, for the first time, fitted its notebooks sold in the US market with solid-state drives (SSDs) sourced from Yangtze Memory Storage. The specific model boasts a 512GB YMTC M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, representing a historic moment where Chinese memory chips have made their way into the mainstream international PC supply chain through OEM pre-installation. This significant development emerges amidst a surge in demand for NAND and DRAM from AI data centers, resulting in a constrained supply in the consumer market and a notable uptick in memory prices. Consequently, PC manufacturers such as Lenovo are compelled to explore alternative suppliers.
