Global Foundries open to working with ARM and Nvidia
AMD SPIN-OFF Global Foundries will take an "agnostic view" of the market according to its head of communications, Jon Carvill.
Carvill, talking to the INQ, noted the manufacturing firm would be open to working with the likes of Nvidia and ARM despite AMD being its first, and number-one, customer.
If all goes according to Lost and Foundry's master plan, fabless firms which have formerly had to rely on the TSMC Taiwanese monopoly will now be able to lean on the Abu Dhabi/AMD venture as a counterbalance.
"There is high confidence in the technology," he said, waxing lyrical about the company's "bleeding edge" automated precision manufacturing (APM).
Global Foundries reckons it will have an edge over TSMC by immediately starting a process technology ahead at 32nm and Carvill believes the firm will be more than capable of "serving the needs of multiple customers." µ

Never gonna happen, Nvidia are far too paranoid.
Who cares about NVidia? Plenty of other business for GlobalFoundries to pursue.
Of course, they'll have to do something about the black bears inhabiting the Luther Forest site. Oh, and all the artillery shells and rockets lying around. It used to be a test site for the Watervliet Arsenal up through the 1960s. Rumor has it there is still a tunnel from the Arsenal to the Luther Forest site.
If you're "head of communications" (without any prefix for the word "head"), the least you can do to justify your salary is not to use terms like "bleeding edge" - it's "leading edge" when you're spinning it positively. Sheesh!
Lost and Foundry, Ha!
Next thing you'll know companies are going to start talking about their GF's... Global Foundries that is.
