Quote:

"Having shipped tens of thousands of high-k/metal-gate (HKMG) wafers (mostly AMD "Llano" chips), GlobalFoundries easily tops its foundry competitors. * * * [Senior VP Gregg] Bartlett mentioned how AMD has been able to ship its 'Llano' Fusion A-series on GlobalFoundries's 32nm process.

"Jim Kupec, senior VP of sales and marketing, said the semiconductor industry has grown from $15 billion to $314 billion over the past 30 years.

(2) Commenting its forum, GlobalFoundries is full of boast. Who knows? Maybe TSMC is ignoring Globalfoundries the way Chinese ignores Indians.

Quote:

"High volume production of the industry’s first High-k Metal Gate (HKMG) product, with GLOBALFOUNDRIES projected to lead competitors in HKMG shipments by 10x or more in 2011

"'Being the first foundry to get its customers to market with 28/32nm chips is particularly impressive. Tape-outs are nice, but being first to cross the ‘products on retail shelves’ finish line is proof of GLOBALFOUNDIES’ ability to innovate and be the technology leader,' said industry analyst Dan Hutcheson, CEO, VLSI Research.“
