Futurum analyst Todd R. Weiss explores Intel’s bold new pledge to reduce its direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2040 throughout its diverse global facilities, as well as its plans to work even harder to reduce the carbon footprints for the company’s technology products and services.
DoD Partners with GLOBALFOUNDRIES to Manufacture Secure Chips
In a recently announced strategic partnership, the U.S Department of Defense (DoD) will partner with GLOBALFOUNDRIES, one of the world’s leading specialty foundries, to provide a secure and reliable supply of semiconductor solutions that will be manufactured at Fab 8 in Malta, New York., the company’s most advanced manufacturing facility. The DoD’s partnership with GLOBALFOUNDRIES is both about reliability and security and occurring at a time when there is a global semiconductor shortage and whole industries are feeling the pressure. This move to provide the security needed by the Pentagon for its sensitive military and aerospace needs is part of a concerted effort to on-shore U.S. microelectronics capabilities.
