A Globalfoundries licenciará o processo de fabricação de chip da Samsung.
Na prática, a Apple poderá comprar chips da Samsung ou da Global Foundaries.
Atualmente a Apple também usa chips da TSMC, entretanto são chips usando a tecnologia de 20 nanômetros. O da Samsung, de 14 nanômetros, é melhor.
“What really drove us to this agreement was a strong pull from customers,” said Ana Hunter, Globalfoundries’ vice president of product management. “They see the value in really having one process where they have choice and flexibility in the manufacturing options that they have.” (traduzir)
