Positioning

GlobalFoundries is a global semiconductor foundry manufacturing differentiated chips and process technologies for automotive, communications infrastructure and data center, smart mobile, industrial and IoT markets. It operates manufacturing sites in the United States, Germany and Singapore, with ecosystem reach spanning controlling shareholder Mubadala, U.S. and New York state semiconductor programs, technology partners, and customers across critical electronics supply chains. Registry note (2026-09): after acquiring Advanced Micro Foundry (AMF) in November 2025, GlobalFoundries describes itself as the largest pure-play silicon-photonics foundry by revenue, contesting Tower's 1.6T leadership claim. The AI Core score row remains filed under Foundry; a dedicated Photonic foundry & PIC platforms placement is a re-file decision (a company carries one score per domain, so it cannot hold both a Foundry and a Photonics row in AI Core).
