GlobalFoundries GF
Third largest foundry — spun out from AMD 2009 with Abu Dhabi's Mubadala as owner. Abandoned the advanced node race in 2018, focuses on 12-14nm "trailing edge".
Big customers: AMD (legacy contracts), automotive, RF, military (US DoD). Fabs: Malta (NY), Dresden, Singapore. IPO 2021. Acquisition of Tower Semiconductor in 2023 was cancelled by China. Pragmatic strategy: leave the AI chip race, earn money on 28-14nm where demand is high and competition lower.
