GlobalFoundries Integrates Chartered
""GlobalFoundries said it has formally completed the integration with Singapore's Chartered Semiconductor. The enlarged foundry will offer manufacturing in all three regions once the Malta, N.Y., fab is finished in 2012. "We are sending out a strong message that we will be an integrated company across the globe, with regionalized manufacturing," said Tom Sonderman, vice president.""

GlobalFoundries readies tool orders, swallows Chartered
""This quarter, the company is ''kicking off selection teams'' that will procure tools for the fab, Armour said at SEMI's Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) here. In the third quarter, GlobalFoundries will select the tools for the U.S. fab., he told EE Times.""

GlobalFoundries absorbs Chartered, the race is on
""GlobalFoundries is introducing a new model for IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturing). This means more emphasis on collaboration between customers, engineers, and everyone involved on the fab side of the equation. In the past, most of the R&D was segmented so the customer would hand off a rigid set of specifications to the fab. Then, the fab had to go back to the customer and explain why that was the hard way to do things. The old-fashioned back-and-forth process took a lot of time. ""

This is all very interesting.
But I am more interested in how this will affect AMD.
