I hope GlobalFoundries get back in shape.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

global foundries has the IP for modern nodes but they didn't want to do it because they didn't know how to make it profitable, and now they're a public company that needs to be profitable.

they may get back in the game in a decade or so but I don't see how they make enough money to compete again other than building a lot of products that don't need modern nodes, which will take a while to bring in enough money.

They’ve explicitly stated they gave up on leading edge. they’re doing some cool stuff on older nodes, but if by that you mean “smaller transistors” - not happening.

It feels like GF is slowly fading into irrelevance.

I think the opposite. I think GF will make loads of money, just not with the expensive R&D and other crap to do it. Slow and steady.
