Last week I attended the Common Platform Technology Forum. The members of the Common Platform, IBM, Samsung, and Globalfoundries organized the event to market both their 32/28 nm foundry capabilities and the work they are undertaking in developing their 20 nm process.
Dr. Stephen Woo of Samsung, not surprisingly sees development being fueled by consumer devices like smartphones enabling the mobile office, infotainment including smart TV sets, and a connected society that would also make heavy use of tablet PC's.
