About the company

GlobalFoundries is a semiconductor foundry that manufactures chips for a broad range of customers, focusing on feature-rich, reliable technologies for cars, IoT, 5G, and other high-growth markets. It operates by fabricating silicon wafers for customer designs, offering mature, specialized processes rather than chasing the most advanced nodes. This makes it different from peers that prize the latest process nodes; GlobalFoundries emphasizes diversification across a global manufacturing footprint (U.S., Europe, Singapore) and stable supply for essential applications. Its goal is to be a leading supplier of high-volume, specialty manufacturing that enables reliable chips for everyday devices and growing tech markets.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • GlobalFoundries won a $375 million CHIPS award on September 8, 2026.
  • Communications infrastructure and data-center revenue grew 62% year over year in Q2 2026.
  • Monolithic Power Systems and Navitas partnerships expand 2027 domestic manufacturing demand.

What critics are saying

  • Smart mobile remains 36% of revenue, and management expects low-teens decline in 2026.
  • GlobalFoundries sued Tower Semiconductor in March 2026, signaling costly IP warfare and distraction.
  • If silicon photonics and quantum programs miss milestones, CHIPS-linked growth narratives evaporate quickly.

What makes GlobalFoundries unique

  • GlobalFoundries owns geographically diverse fabs across U.S., Europe, Singapore for supply security.
  • Its specialty focus on silicon photonics, SiGe, RF, and power separates it from leading-edge foundries.
  • GF's 2026 UX, GCRAM, and advanced packaging launches deepen its niche platform portfolio.

Kepler Computing raises $468M to boost memory density without EUV lithography

Kepler Computing has raised $468 million from investors including GlobalFoundries, Intel Capital, AMD Ventures, and Bill Gates to develop memory chips that bypass expensive extreme ultraviolet lithography. The San Jose startup uses ferroelectric materials and 3D stacking to increase high-bandwidth memory and SRAM density whilst working with existing semiconductor fabs. The company claims it can convert a fab to next-generation capability in eight months versus the typical 24-month timeline. However, the technology faces contamination challenges because its composite material includes iron, requiring dedicated equipment or encapsulation. Kepler has been testing at GlobalFoundries facilities in Singapore and Vermont, producing chips on approximately 2,000 wafers. The US Department of Commerce committed up to $245 million in July to support domestic development. First HBM samples are planned for late 2025, with US production targeted for 2028.

GlobalFoundries and RAAAM tape out GCRAM chip, achieving 40% area shrink and 60% power reduction vs SRAM

GlobalFoundries and RAAAM Memory Technologies have announced a collaboration to develop Gain-Cell RAM (GCRAM) technology on GlobalFoundries' FDX platform. The partnership has achieved a significant milestone with the successful tape-out of a GCRAM test vehicle. The technology addresses growing on-chip memory demands for edge AI, automotive, and IoT devices. Using RAAAM's patented GCRAM, the companies achieved a 40% memory area reduction and up to 60% power savings compared to SRAM. The firms have jointly designed and taped out a GCRAM test chip. They plan to provide GCRAM design access to lead customers in early 2027. NXP Semiconductors is evaluating the solution. Victor Wang, vice president of front end innovation at NXP, noted the technology's potential for increasing on-chip memory capacities and improving system-level efficiency.

QuickLogic launches enhanced eFPGA Hard IP for GlobalFoundries 12LP with 250K+ LUT scalability

QuickLogic has released an enhanced embedded FPGA Hard IP for GlobalFoundries' 12LP process. The new offering includes a DSP Multiply-and-Accumulate unit with enhanced preadder, cascade connections, and SIMD functionality for applications such as phased array radar, electronic warfare, and satellite communications. The eFPGA fabric can now scale beyond 250,000 LUTs for designs requiring larger embedded programmable logic. An optional Configuration Bit Health Monitor detects and corrects errors induced by Single Event Upsets whilst the design is active. The technology enables programmable logic to be embedded directly within SoCs, allowing hardware functions and interfaces to be updated post-manufacturing. QuickLogic showcased the enhanced IP at the GlobalFoundries Technology Summit North America in Santa Clara, California, on 2 September 2026.
