Gloflo thinks 7nm vital for industry
 

IBM purchase cleared the way

Global foundary’s CTO has said that the industry needs 7nm and its recent IBM purchase is helping him build up a new cunning plan for the technology.

Talking to Digitimes, Gary Patton has the job of building up the foundry house's 7nm manufacturing technology. He said that the acquisition of IBM's microelectronics unit was a big help because it had been doing a lot of work in differentiated 45/30/22/14 nm process nodes and improving its algorithm technologies for use in servers. That integration between the two sides will give Globalfoundries a clearer blueprint for technology development.
