MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Globalfoundries CEO Ajit Manocha has praised his firm for what he called a “remarkable quarter†in Q411, and promised that the foundry was on track to “keep the momentum going,†after a year plagued with difficulties and setbacks.
Globalfoundries' new fab in upstate New York is due to start ramping imminently, he said, with 20-nm expected to be introduced in June. The company has said it expects to spend more than $3 billion in capital expenditures this year.
