GlobalFoundries FD-SOI. Yes, It's True
There have been rumors around for months but today it is official. GlobalFoundries announced 22FDX which is a 22nm FD-SOI platform. GF announced that they had licensed FD-SOI from STMicroelectronics a couple of years ago and then...nothing. I just assumed it was a marketing deal that would be driven by mutual customers for 28nm FD-SOI if some customer needed a second source. Mostly the world was going FinFET unless you were ST. But gradually I started to see little bits of new information. Tools that analyzed designs would put FD-SOI way ahead of FinFET. Most of the information about both FD-SOI and FinFET compared them to 28nm or even 40nm bulk and, unsurprisingly, they both looked better. I'm getting a bit bored with reading that the latest ARM processor is x% faster when there is process node change in there too. Well duh.
