Globalfoundries to blame


We've
managed to score a quite unique picture of 28nm wafer of Globalfoundries' test production of SRAM chips. The company also displayed 32nm Silicon on Insulator, a new process scheduled for 2010 that will be mainly used by AMD for its upcoming 32nm CPUs.


The company believes that 28nm is a very strategic node for Globalfoundries and potential customers for it are graphics and wireless people. You can imagine that Nvidia and ATI will be coming along with 28nm graphics chips.

The pictured wafer has many 28nm SRAM chips manufactured in Bulk production but it might be a while until Globalfoundries has them ready.
