IBM’s Plan For Etching Power10 And Later Chips

January 7, 2019 Timothy Prickett Morgan

Last summer, GlobalFoundries, the chip making conglomerate comprised of the foundry businesses of AMD and IBM plus Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, put the kibosh on its planned aggressive ramp of 7 nanometer chip making technologies. AMD and IBM, who both depended on GlobalFoundries for their server chip manufacturing, obviously knew well before this announcement that GlobalFoundries was going to be halting development and production ramp for 7 nanometers, so they were not left in as much of a lurch as it might seem.

Lucky for both companies, there is more than one foundry that was trying to stay on the bleeding …

The New Year is underway here in the Jungle. As much as we all appreciated (and needed) some downtime to reflect on last year and recharge for the months ahead, we are just as happy to be back delivering the news to our community. It turns out not everyone in the IBM i ecosystem has been on hiatus, as we see many informative webinars coming up this month and IBM CEO Ginni Rometty on deck to deliver the keynote at CES this week. We have a small favor to ask before you start digging back in to projects at work. …
