    What's new with Glofo? Quite a bit actually. It was interesting to see a Made in America: Global Companies Expand in U.S. Towns segment on semiconductors! Give it a look, I enjoyed it. It's an election year, jobs are key to any election, so it did not surprise me to see President Obama making the rounds:

    Even though my Dresden trip was fraught with fail points it went off without a hitch. Flying over was easy, I connected through London Heathrow, flying back I connected through Frankfurt. ...

    There were keynotes from all three semiconductor partners in the Common Platform Alliance and, as if to show how common they are, they all talked about the problems that need to be addressed in the next decade and a half and they all said pretty much the same thing. Gary Patton of IBM went first and so he got to say everything first. Plus, it is clear, IBM does all the early research before technologies ...

    Next Wednesday is the Common Platform Technology Forum. "Common Platform" is a name that only a committee could have come up with, giving no clue as to what it actually is. As you probably know, there are various process clubs sharing the costs of technology development (TD) and one of them consists of IBM, Samsung and Global Foundries. Although they have many partners, historically ...

    Last week I had an interesting meeting with GLOBALFOUNDRIES executives Kevin Meyer and Mojy Chian. It certainly seems that GFI has turned a corner! I will be in Dresden next week for DATE 2012 and will also visit the GFI Fab there. 28nm and 20nm are on track so expect an aggressive implementation plan from GFI this year.

    One thing I do as an internationally recognized semiconductor blogger is listen to the quarterly conference calls of companies that drive our industry. TSMC is always interesting, I really like the honesty and vision of Dr. Morris Chang. Cadence is good, I always want to hear what Lip-Bu Tan has to say. Oracle and Larry Ellison, Synopsys, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Altera, Nvidia, and a couple of others.

    If I miss the actual call I get the transcript from Seeking Alpha. Here is the most recent AMD call Q4 2011. I post this     ...

    Some call it co-opetition (collaborative competition), some call it keeping your enemies close. Others call it for what it is, unfair competition and/or other types of legally actionable behavior. GlobalFoundries calls it “Fab Syncing”, which in reality will SINK their FABS!

    “With this new collaboration, we are making one of the industry’s strongest manufacturing partnerships even stronger, ...
