[Chris Samuel]

Interesting times, GlobalFoundries getting IBMs CPU business...

http://globalfoundries.com/newsroom/press-releases/2014/10/20/globalfoundries-to-acquire-ibm's-microelectronics-business

and IBM appears to be paying GF $1.5bn for the privilege of taking
it off their hands.

IBM will at least continue CPU research for 5 years.
