So long Chartered and thanks for all the chips!

@ 2010/01/13
It’s been a long time in coming, but today AMD Fab spin-off, GlobalFoundries, announced it had finally finished integrating Chartered Semiconductor into one big fab family under the unified name and brand of GlobalFoundries.

The move essentially signals the re-launch of a bigger and hopefully even better Glofo, which now has its fingers in foundry pies across Asia, Europe and the United States.

Boasting a workforce of around 10,000 people, the new reiteration of the fab spinoff will remain headquartered in Silicon Valley but will have manufacturing operations in Singapore; Dresden, Germany; and an under construction fab in Saratoga County, New York.

it seems The Inquirer lost another writer, Sylvie Barak used to write for them instead of TG Daily
