I'm happy to see a big company put in money into RISC-V. I think this could work out. Unlike Intel competing on the bleeding edge, GF may be going for cheaper lower compute requirement use cases which I can see working out and keeping their foundries busy. There was an article a year ago about GlobalFoundry's customers shifting to sub-10nm faster than anticipated which they abandoned their pursuits 7 years ago. Maybe they can compete for any of the car chips, appliances, TV and TV boxes, defense applications, everything that Rockchip and Amlogic chips show up in
