[CONFIRMED] CXMT allegedly used a written roadmap to steal Samsung DRAM tech — South Korean court says 'Project Hefei' lifted 620-step recipe to build 10% global market share [MU] — tomshardware.com, 2026-09-04T10:30:00.000Z

A South Korean court has found that Chinese DRAM maker CXMT used a documented 'Project Hefei' roadmap to steal Samsung's 620-step DRAM manufacturing process, enabling CXMT to capture ~10% global DRAM market share. This represents a significant IP theft case with major implications for Samsung's competitive position and the broader DRAM market dynamics. The ruling could trigger trade restrictions or sanctions against CXMT, potentially benefiting Western DRAM suppliers.
