GlobalFoundries is one of the more interesting semiconductor stories of this decade. They started as a spinout of the AMD fabs then acquired Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing in 2009 and the IBM Microelectronics business in 2014.
Now that events are virtual it is a great time for my fellow semiconductor professionals to get an update on GF and other big players in the ecosystem. The talk with Arm CEO Simon Seagers should be an interesting one, absolutely.
Unlike some semiconductor events this one is open to all of us and I hope to see you there!
