Fuelled by Abu Dhabi’s billions, @globalfoundries went big — acquiring Chartered Semiconductor and IBM Microelectronics.
They planted fabs across Singapore, Germany, and New York… and went head-to-head with TSMC.
But when the world chased 7nm… they didn’t.
They pivoted to automotive, RF, IoT, and defense chips — not tiny, but critical.
This is the foundry that refused to follow — and still won.
