AI Gold Rush Pushes $16 Billion GlobalFoundries Deal with Apple, SpaceX, and AMD to Reshape US Chip Power in 2025
GlobalFoundries ignites a $16B investment wave, joining forces with top tech giants to supercharge US-made semiconductors for the AI era.
- $16 Billion+ investment in US semiconductor capacity
- 3,000+ new jobs projected in advanced chip manufacturing
- First US-based silicon photonics packaging center launched in New York
- Key partners: Apple, SpaceX, AMD, Qualcomm, GM, and NXP
The race for global chip supremacy is on—and this time, all eyes are on America. GlobalFoundries (GF), backed by the Trump Administration and industry titans like Apple, SpaceX, and AMD, just set off a $16 billion investment blitz to turbocharge US semiconductor manufacturing for the artificial intelligence (AI) era.
Work is already humming across GF’s New York and Vermont facilities. GF isn’t just expanding production; they’re pioneering the nation’s first-ever silicon photonics packaging center to feed the insatiable demands of next-gen AI, aerospace, and automotive industries. This audacious bet on American ingenuity aims to wrestle critical tech manufacturing away from Asia and put the US back on the silicon map.
Why Does the AI Boom Need Homegrown Chips?
AI’s appetite is insatiable—high-bandwidth, low-latency, power-thrifty semiconductors form its backbone. As datacenter loads skyrocket and AI creeps into everything from smart cars to satellites, relying on fragile overseas supply lines becomes a risk nobody wants to take in 2025.
GF’s partners—ranging from smartphone leaders to automotive pioneers—are doubling down on US-based chip production for precisely this reason: security, innovation, and supply chain resilience.
How Is GlobalFoundries Redefining Manufacturing?
– $16 Billion Pledge: The company is modernizing facilities and expanding capacity by over $13B in New York and Vermont, plus a fresh $3B dedicated to R&D and breakthrough packaging.
– Tech Edge: GF’s FDX technology promises ultra-low power chips that make AI smarter at the edge—exactly where sensors, vehicles, and handhelds need it most.
– Silicon Photonics: GF’s New York center now leads the US in advanced chip packaging for lightning-fast communication.
– Gallium Nitride (GaN) Push: At their Vermont site, GF accelerates next-gen power electronics, fueling everything from electric trucks to hypersonic defense.
Q&A: What Makes This Investment Different in 2025?
Q: Who else is on board?
A: Tech icons like Qualcomm, NXP, and GM are locked in, eager to claw back chipmaking capabilities to US soil.
Q: Will this create jobs and help the economy?
A: Absolutely—a predicted 3,000+ new high-tech roles are in play, alongside trickle-down opportunities for suppliers and local businesses.
Q: What’s next for the industry?
A: With the US doubling down on domestic production and advanced R&D, analysts expect a new wave of innovation and resilience, potentially redrawing the global supply chain map.
