Company's 14nm roadmap accelerates customers' path to FinFET technology
GLOBALFOUNDRIES is accelerating its leading-edge roadmap with the launch of a new technology designed for the fast-growing mobile market. The company's 14nm-XM offering will give customers the performance and power benefits of three-dimensional "FinFET" transistors with less risk and a faster time-to-market, helping the fabless ecosystem maintain its leadership in mobility while enabling a new generation of smart mobile devices.
The XM stands for "eXtreme Mobility," and it is the industry's leading non-planar architecture that is truly optimized for mobile system-on-chip (SoC) designs, providing a whole product solution from the transistor all the way up to the system level. The technology is expected to deliver up to a 40% improvement in battery life when compared to today's two-dimensional planar transistors.
