This confident statement came from Subramani (Subi) Kengeri of GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GloFo) during the panel session in the GloFo/IBM/Samsung Common Platform Technology Forum (CPTF), held Wednesday in the Santa Clara Convention Center. I’m currently on one of my periodic road trips, and this one has given me the chance to sit in on the CPTF – last year I had to make do with the online version. Towards the end of…

GlobalFoundries’ Ajit Manocha Visits CES
GLOBALFOUNDRIES has hosted a reception for the last three years at CES, although they don’t exhibit there, or even take a suite for the show – they find it a useful way to connect with customers and the analyst and journalist community. Held on CES Tuesday (Jan 10), I expected a large Intel-style gathering with lots of flash, but it was actually quite low-key in a hospitality suite at the…

Intel Press Briefing and Keynote at CES 2012
Intel UltraHypes Ultrabook at Monday’s Press Briefing The Intel press session Monday morning at CES was focused exclusively on the Ultrabook, with Mooly Eden hyping up this supposedly new category of laptop. He prefaced the talk by saying there would be no discussion of 22 nm, Ivybridge, or any new silicon; the emphasis would be on "experiences" achieved by Ultrabook, not just speed and performance as Intel has done in most…

TI Debuts 28-nm OMAP 5 Processor at CES
This year, for the first time I made it to the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. To say it is an endurance test is putting it mildly – close to 150,000 attendees predicted and ~5,000 media/analysts, so we (there’s two of us from Chipworks) spend more time standing in line than actually seeing the show. Be that as it may, Tuesday morning we went to one of…
