Why IBM Is Suing GlobalFoundries over Chip Roadmap Failures

I was surprised this did not get more traction when was initially posted, but glad it taking some visibility.

Its likely to have a major impact for both companies. IBM is basically accusing GlobalFoundries of taking its technology plus some billions and doing nothing on purpose.

So it looks like, knowing IBM Legal, they think they have a strong case. Or maybe IBM messed up this one so much this, this is the real reason behind the change of CEO...

Well at least it can be said that, had IBM not gotten out of the foundry business, they would be minting money right now. If then-CEO of IBM had successfully pivoted the company to all things Watson, which seemed to be the plan, it would still have seemed like a good idea. It does not seem to have been a good idea.
