GlobalFoundries unveils 7nm-class FDX Fusion node

GlobalFoundries has announced FDX Fusion, a new FD-SOI manufacturing node the company describes as 7nm-class, roughly doubling transistor density compared with its 22FDX process. The announcement is notable because GlobalFoundries quit leading-edge FinFET development seven years ago, halting its 7nm FinFET program and focusing instead on specialized process technologies. Industry observers are weighing what the move means for the foundry's competitiveness against TSMC and Samsung, and whether FDX Fusion signals a renewed push toward advanced nodes.
Why now: GlobalFoundries returning to a 7nm-class technology after abandoning leading-edge FinFET manufacturing in 2018 is a significant and surprising industry development.
