SAN FRANCISCO--The fabless/foundry model may have its issues, but it’s a long way from being dead, said Globalfoundries CEO Ajit Manocha, speaking at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) here this week (Dec. 11).
Manocha dismissed critics who claim the fabless model is on its way to extinction, claiming instead that the foundry model is seeing huge growth rates and continuing to outpace other chip industry segments.
