Plus AMD did not resign the contract in march which made global foundries the soul manufacturer of wafers for AMD, and they are seeking elsewhere now as well, though they are still maintaining a relationship with Global. They replaced/layed off quite a few people recently. I’d love to know where they are getting this ridiculous ammount of money from now to build the second building.
