GlobalFoundries is expanding its semiconductor partnerships across AI, optical networking, automotive, and quantum technologies. Recent deals include a long-term manufacturing agreement with Monolithic Power Systems and $375 million in R&D funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce for quantum semiconductors. The company also partnered with RAAAM Memory Technologies on power-efficient memory solutions.
