MALTA, N.Y., and Peta Tikva, Israel, Sept. 2, 2026 – GlobalFoundries (Nasdaq: GFS)(GF) and RAAAM Memory Technologies, a pioneer in advanced on-chip memory solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration to develop and qualify Gain-Cell RAM (GCRAM) technology. The partnership has reached a major milestone with the successful tape-out of a GCRAM test vehicle on GF’s industry-leading FDX™ FD-SOI platform.
In sectors ranging from low-power wearables to general purpose MCUs and MPUs, the demand for responsive, visually appealing graphics is rising. However, semiconductor designers must still balance these ambitions against stringent power, cost, and memory constraints. Selecting the right GPU hardware and software architecture for complete product portfolios is therefore a key design decision.
Sony accounts for almost half of global CMOS image sensor revenue; Chinese suppliers have become the industry’s second-largest supplier base; and the AI-driven memory upcycle opens a new supply-chain risk for imaging.
