Global Foundries, the spun-off manufacturing arm of AMD, is aggressively
pursuing new customers with promises of industry leading performance and
efficiency as a startup in the foundry industry. We take a look at the
technology and aims of this new giant, and see if they can in fact compete
with the well respected and powerful TSMC.

Quote: "The advanced technology partnerships that Global Foundries currently
enjoys allows their chip partners to introduce faster and more efficient
parts into the marketplace with potentially improved yields over what we see
currently for advanced designs. One of the great questions that everyone
has been asking is if NVIDIA would trust Global Foundries with their chip
making, even though they are a subsidiary of AMD. I believe the answer to
that is that if Global Foundries delivers on its promises of what their 32
nm process (and later 28 nm) can do, then customers will flock to Global
Foundries."
