Clean Technology Opportunities
Case 2
In the existing computing architecture, data migration for a simple computing consumes a lot of energy. CXL high-speed interconnect technology canreduce the energy consumption of data migration by cache coherence and data sharing.
According to related industry analysis, ChatGPT may consume more than500,000 kW/h of electricity per day to respond to about 200 millionrequests from customers, while a household uses about 29 kW/h ofelectricity per day on average, so ChatGPT's daily electricity consumptionis more than 17,000 times that of a household.CXL high-speed interconnect technology will improve the overall comput-ing efficiency of the whole system, thereby reducing energy consumption.In 2022, Montage Technology released the world's first CXL MXC chip.The MXC chip is primarily used in the fields of memory expansion andmemory pooling, which can significantly expand memory capacity andbandwidth, and meet the growing demands of high-performance comput-ing, AI, and other data-intensive applications.The Company has actively cooperated with CPU manufacturers, memorymanufacturers, cloud service manufacturers and server OEMs, tried tostay at the forefront of technological development, constantly promotedproduct update and iteration, and committed itself to contributing to therealization of a mature and perfect CXL ecosystem and the wide applica-tion of CXL technology.
In 2023, the DDR5 penetration rate further rose, and the shipments of Montage Technology's DDR5 memory interface chips continued to increase.

Montage Technology promises not to support or source any metals from minerals mined in armed conflict, illegally or from inferior workingenvironments, that is, "conflict minerals", and explicitly prohibits the sourcing of raw materials from regions that do not respect human rights,trade illegally and finance violence. The Company has established a risk-based responsible mineral management system and a well-struc-tured governance mechanism that align with the Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals issued by the Organiza-tion for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Our departments such as Quality Control Department are entrusted with the tasksof gathering, organizing, and evaluating conflict minerals standards and developing the Conflict Minerals Management Policy. This policydetails explicit requirements for the identification and management of conflict minerals. Furthermore, we provide our Statement on the Prohibi-tion of Conflict Minerals for our clients, pledging to collaborate with our supply chain to foster a responsible mineral sourcing environment.
As a fabless company that formal does not directly source minerals,we try our best to ensure that our suppliers adhere to conflict-freeminerals sourcing, as part of our commitment to responsible sourcing.In the new supplier introduction and daily management, we use theConflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) issued by the RMI toconduct the supply chain due diligence for 3TG and identify thesource information of minerals and smelters in the supply chain.
Never use conflict minerals
The Company 100% completed the conflict minerals investigation of suppliers in all productionprocesses. Suppliers all obtained minerals from audited Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI)smelters. All sourced minerals were from smelters with the Responsible Minerals AssuranceProgram (RMAP) certification. No supplier was found to be involved in conflict minerals.
