San\u00adta Cla\u00adra, Calif., Sep\u00adtem\u00adber 15, 2016 \u2013 <\/strong>GLOBALFOUNDRIES<\/span> today announ\u00adced plans to deli\u00adver a new lea\u00adding-edge 7nm Fin\u00adFET semi\u00adcon\u00adduc\u00adtor tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy that will offer the ulti\u00adma\u00adte in per\u00adfor\u00admance for the next era of com\u00adpu\u00adting appli\u00adca\u00adti\u00adons. This tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy pro\u00advi\u00addes more pro\u00adces\u00adsing power for data cen\u00adters, net\u00adwor\u00adking, pre\u00admi\u00adum mobi\u00adle pro\u00adces\u00adsors, and deep lear\u00adning applications.<\/p>\n

GLOBALFOUNDRIES<\/span>\u2019 new 7nm Fin\u00adFET tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy is expec\u00adted to deli\u00adver more than twice the logic den\u00adsi\u00adty and a 30 per\u00adcent per\u00adfor\u00admance boost com\u00adpared to today\u2019s 16\/14nm foundry Fin\u00adFET offe\u00adrings. The plat\u00adform is based on an indus\u00adtry-stan\u00addard Fin\u00adFET tran\u00adsis\u00adtor archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adre and opti\u00adcal litho\u00adgra\u00adphy, with EUV<\/span> com\u00adpa\u00adti\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty at key levels.
