GlobalFoundries can make 7-nanometer chips using about 80 percent of the equipment that it uses to make 14-nanometer chips, allowing it to make both architectures going forward. The multibillion-dollar investment by GlobalFoundries at Fab 8 will be for additional equipment needed for 7 nanometer as well as for development and testing, some of it at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany. Caulfield said Fab 8 will start taking customer designs for 7-nanometer chips next year, and it will take about two years to get up to full production.
