Global Foundries may be stuck at 14nm, but they'd be the most natural successor to next-generation if their financials could be improved a bit. Its a shame that the New York based semiconductor fab has fallen behind.

They've spun down so much of their R&D, that it'd be a real uphill battle to get going again. There's been so much brain drain.

And the wall at 14nm is them not investing in EUV, so they'd have even more work versus say the 14nm/28nm transition.

Global Foundries is hardly an "American" company...it's owned by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
