GLOBALFOUNDRIES Shows 14nm FinFET process with AMD
GLOBALFOUNDRIES announced a development milestone in its path to 14nm FinFET process technology. AMD has taped out multiple products using GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ 14nm Low Power Plus (14LPP) process technology and is currently conducting validation work on 14LPP production samples.
GLOBALFOUNDRIES now anticipates its 14LPP process technology will reach high-volume production in 2016. The 14LPP platform taps the benefits of three-dimensional, fully-depleted FinFET transistors to enable customers like AMD to deliver more processing power in a smaller footprint for applications that demand the ultimate in performance.
“Our 14nm FinFET technology is among the most advanced in the industry, offering an ideal solution for demanding high-volume, high-performance, and power-efficient designs with the best die size,” said Mike Cadigan, senior vice president of product management at GLOBALFOUNDRIES. “Through our close design-technology partnership with AMD, we can help them deliver products with a performance boost over 28nm technology, while maintaining a superior power footprint and providing a true cost advantage due to significant area scaling.”

You just read about AMD. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Xilinx built Field-programmable gate arrays, adaptive SoCs, accelerator cards and programmable software tools. What became of it?
Xilinx brought Field-programmable gate arrays, adaptive SoCs, accelerator cards and programmable software tools to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by AMD for US$49B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside AMD today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
