GloFo has 8 fabs now, 3-300mm and 5-200mm fabs that used to be Charter, and there was talk of a 9th fab.Originally Posted by FlanK3r
I wouldn't call them AMD fabs, I think AMD only owns around 10-15% of GloFo now.

No. Fab 8 was a joint venture between Global Foundries and IBM along with other JDA (joint development alliance) companies like Toshiba, Samsung, and Renesas.
And contrary to what the article says, Fab 8 is nowhere near producing chips that will see the consumer market. It's going to be another 6 months before everything becomes fully operational, and a full year before they begin actual revenue production. Only some time after that will they reach high volume production in 2013.
To be honest, I have absolutely no idea where Charlie gets these so called "facts" that he put in his articles. I have a feeling he was wearing his pink bunny suit while typing it up and forgot that Journalists must maintain some sort of professionalism and accuracy.
And yes... this is an actual photo of Charlie in the previously mentioned suit. It was punishment for publicly challenging executives @ Intel while having his facts wrong.He lost the bet.
Here are my facts btw...

What do you think about these?:

Corel support AMD and his APU/FX processor.
Or, Red Hat in this document: http://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/RHEL_6_2...s_benefits.pdf
Red Hat says that RHEL 6.2 supports Bulldozer and Piledriver. Is it true?
"Gcc, glibc, gdb, oprofile — include optimizations to support new chip set capabilities — Intel Westmere & Ivy Bridge, AMD Bulldozer & Piledriver"
