Recently, industry sources actively discussing Globalfoundries Intentions to compete for orders of Apple's release of processors generation A9, which must be produced using FinFET-structures technological standards thin 20 nm. Globalfoundries competitors in this case could come TSMC and Samsung.
Analytical blog Barron's referring to the comments of one of the industry experts reported that TSMC and Samsung there are some technological problems with the development of three-dimensional semiconductor structures, and this may force Apple to seek help from Intel, which in this area has progressed further.
