Although CXMT is accused of stealing technology from Samsung to build its first DDR5 chips, the limited global memory supply could lead desperate companies to overlook this and buy memory chips from the company.

Samsung, Apple, et al have stolen from each other at every turn from everyone and with no consequence. Who gaf that this Chinese company did it, too?

After all, most end users wouldn’t care where the memory chips in their laptops and pre-built PCs come from, as long as they perform well and are ~~competitively~~ fairly priced

Fixed it.

Fortunately bad quality DRAM can be found out much quicker than bad quality capacitors.
