AMD and ATIC Launch GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Plans 32nm and 22nm Production

AMD's facilities in Dresden, Germany will be combined together into a new entity known as Fab 1. The fabrication plant formerly known as Fab 36 will be called Module 1, and will continue production of 45nm Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) CPUs. Fab 38 will be known as Module 2, and will continue transitioning to 32nm bulk silicon with a targeted introduction in 2010.

Fab 2 will be a new greenfield development built in the Luther Forest Technology Campus, located in Saratoga County, New York. The long delayed site was initially supposed to begin production on a 32nm SOI process, but will instead ramp up 22nm volume production in 2012.

Take That INTEL... pooey ~!~!
