Article doesn't say what the breakthrough is.
'4F² Memory Cell Architecture'
It's nice, but not all that (still 15nm to Samsungs incoming 10nm), and their volume is still low, but as the article notes they're bringing 3 new fabs online this year.
It’s the entire content of the first 2 paragraphs, it’s a new architecture
Litterally the only text I see is:
SEOUL/HONG KONG/TAIPEI/SUNNYVALE, U.S. -- A breakthrough in next-generation memory chip design, announced by China's CXMT at the weekend, has sent shockwaves through markets and the semiconductor industry, although analysts and industry executives say its rivals have other ways to maintain their competitive edge.
scrolled down to the bottom of the page and nothing else.
I’m sure you could find the patent if it’s pending, but this is probably as much as you’ll find aimed at a consumer blog.
