GlobalFoundries to invest $16bn in semiconductor production
US-based semiconductor manufacturer GlobalFoundries has announced a $16bn investment to enhance domestic semiconductor production. This investment will expand the company's manufacturing and advanced packaging capabilities across its facilities in New York and Vermont. The investment builds upon GlobalFoundries' existing US expansion plans, which include more than $13bn to expand and modernise its New York and Vermont facilities. Additionally, the company has announced funding for its newly launched New York Advanced Packaging and Photonics Centre, the first US-based facility dedicated to silicon photonics packaging. GlobalFoundries is committing an additional $3bn to advanced research and development initiatives. These initiatives focus on packaging innovation, silicon photonics, and next-generation GaN technologies. The company is collaborating with major technology firms such as Apple, SpaceX, AMD, Qualcomm Technologies, NXP, and GM. These companies will aid GlobalFoundries in reshoring semiconductor production to the US and diversifying their global supply chains. GlobalFoundries CEO Tim Breen said: 'At GlobalFoundries, we are proud to partner with pioneering technology leaders to manufacture their chips in the United States—advancing innovation while strengthening economic and supply chain resiliency. 'The AI revolution is driving strong, durable demand for GF's technologies that enable tomorrow's datacentres – including GF's leading silicon photonics, as well as GaN for power applications. 'Meanwhile at the edge, GF's proprietary FDX technology is uniquely positioned to support AI functionality with low power consumption. With all these technologies and more manufactured right here in the US, GF is proud to play its part in accelerating America's semiconductor leadership.' In February 2024, the US awarded $1.5bn to GlobalFoundries to expand its semiconductor production as the country looks to boost its domestic chip manufacturing.

Another US-based semicon co to set up project in Bengal
Kolkata: After GlobalFoundries (GF), another US-based semiconductor company — Santech Global Inc — has expressed its interest in setting up a project in Bengal, the state govt said after US Consul General Kathy Giles-Diaz met Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee at Nabanna on Wednesday. Based in New Jersey, Santech Global specialises in semiconductors and nanoelectronics. "We are in consultation with the company to extend required support," an official said. He added that Santech Global setting up a project in Bengal would contribute in the creation of a robust semiconductor ecosystem in the state and open up more economic opportunities. The state govt further said GF has sought additional space to expand operations. The GF project was announced in Sept last year during a meeting between then-US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The CM had earlier stated that necessary land had already been provided to GF — around 13,000 sq ft in the Software Technology Park of India (STPI) at Sector V. GF has asked for another 19,000 sq ft and the CM has assured to look into the request. On Wednesday, the CM and the US Consul discussed the GF Kolkata Power Center, set to come up in collaboration with the US. The CM said the project would be a significant achievement for the state and expressed hope that once in place, it would generate substantial employment. According to an official, the new semiconductor fabrication unit will focus on advanced sensing, communication and power electronics for national security as well as next-generation telecommunications and green energy applications. The official further said GF is a major semiconductor manufacturing company that produces microchips used in electronic devices such as smartphones, computers and cars. He added that GF would also set up a fabless centre for design and testing. Officials said semiconductor units in Bengal would aid research and development in chip manufacturing, and cause major leaps in the fields of Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and data centres.

'It's painful': NRL fans say same thing as Ray Warren detail laid bare during Origin
The quality of the Channel 9 commentary team has once again come under fire during State of Origin 1 on Wednesday night, and fans couldn't help but feel it's never been the same since Ray Warren retired. For many NRL fans, State of Origin and the grand final are the only times throughout the season that they watch Channel 9 as opposed to Fox League. Many would prefer to pay up and hear the Fox League commentary crew during games, but State of Origin and the grand final are exclusively on Channel 9. For those who only watch Nine four times a year, it can be a rather grating experience. Andrew Johns and Cameron Smith usually come in for plenty of criticism, and don't typically try to hide their bias towards NSW and Queensland respectively. On Wednesday night it was no different, with many expressing some brutal opinions about the NRL legends on social media. There was an awkward moment during the game when lead caller Mat Thompson used the word "superfluous", and Johns didn't appear to know what it meant. 'Err, excuse me? A what?" he replied. As for Thompson, the play-by-play caller has done a commendable job since the retirement of legendary predecessor Warren. But the general consensus is Channel 9 have never been able to fill the void left by the great man. Journalist Peter Lang wrote on social media on Wednesday night: "I don't want to be overly critical of Channel 9's State of Origin commentator Mat Thompson last night…but geeze I miss 'Rabs'. Ray Warren was Origin." However a fan responded: "Be over critical. It's diabolical. Fox Sports need to have the rights. 9 is beyond bad in all aspects." Another wrote: "I thought Matt Thompson was alright. He needs someone in there with him with a bit of energy. Andrew Johns ain't that person." Another commented: "I watched the game mostly on mute, it's painful…" While a fourth wrote: "It was awful. I have my whinges about Foxtel, but sweet jesus, they are miles ahead of 9." I watched the game mostly on mute it's painful… — Dennis Feher (@DrDennisFeher) May 29, 2025 They need to let Fox get rights to showing it live. I watched their coverage for a bit after the game and oh my the quality difference is crazy. — Oliver (@OliverMulqueen3) May 28, 2025 @NRL You really need to allow @FOXNRL to broadcast the SOO, WSOO & GF at the same time channel 9 does.@NRLonNine are killing the NRL. Tonight's SOO was like watching it in a Library!! The commentary lacklustre and no passion whatsoever!Bring on @FOXNRL please!!!!Please — MARBROLAY (@marbrolay) May 28, 2025 The commentary is as bad as the game. I miss Ray Warren. #StateofOrigin — BMC (@BrianMichaelC) May 28, 2025 I get he's passionate, but Joey's bias is insufferable. — Stephen 😁 (@SJOBrien8906) May 28, 2025 Cameron Smith is certainly not impartial — 91 03 21 22 23 24 PREMIERS 🐾🏆 (@SnoogThe) May 28, 2025 On Wednesday night, many accused Smith of being too biased towards Queensland, particularly in regard to the controversial sin-binning of Brian To'o for a mid-air challenge on Xavier Coates that officials ruled was a professional foul. And Johns also copped backlash for a bizarre theory he floated about the balls being used. After Nathan Cleary missed three conversion attempts in a row, Zac Lomax replaced him but also shanked one from close range. Johns said he thought the ball sounded different when being kicked, and suggested it might have had something to do with the sponsorship logos on it. 'Even the sound of the ball when they were kicking it just sounded different," the NRL Immortal said. 'Mitchell Moses kicked one in the in-goal, he never gets that wrong. Sometimes they are a little bit fatter, maybe the graphics on the ball whether that changes it. Zac Lomax, he missed it by a mile.' RELATED: Craig Bellamy's Origin move that could come back to haunt Storm coach Trainer at centre of Origin incident unmasked as NRL great's brother Johns even put his theory to Nathan Cleary after the game. But Cleary said: 'The last one I kicked it was definitely just an F-up. But I don't know, I think I'll reflect on that and I think there was just a bit going on in my brain. 'I had so many things I wanted to do. But I've thought about being back in this arena so often and so many things I wanted to do. Sometimes you just need to calm down a bit and just go through the processes.'

Fans call for Briggs to be given AFL grand final entertainment after epic Dreamtime at the ‘G performance
AFL fans on social media are almost universally calling for Indigenous Australian rapper Briggs to be courted for this year's grand final pre-game entertainment after an epic Dreamtime at the 'G performance. Briggs performed three songs alongside longtime friend and Aussie rock legend, Paul Kelly, as well as his band, in what was an expanded pre-game entertainment that also acknowledged some Indigenous elders and past Indigenous AFL champions. The performance went for around 20 minutes and included traditional Aboriginal dance and rituals, ahead of Richmond and Essendon's annual clash. It was showered with love from fans watching at home, and prompted the suggestion that Briggs take centre stage before the grand final. 'Briggs, Brother, that #DreamtimeAtTheG performance was fire. Better than any GF performance, ever,' one fan said. 'They should just have Briggs as Grand Final entertainment, that was great #afldeadly,' another added. Channel 7's Jason Richardson said the performance was a perfect advertisement for a night grand final. ' 'Briggs night AFL GF …. yes please,' he said. There were a host of others who agreed. 'How good Briggs, could feel the power and pride.' 'Let's give Briggs the GF show. That was better than anything we've had on GF day. Spectacular.' 'When we have Australian musicians, black and white, singing together at the G, It's wild. Briggs and PK bringing it. This is the best performance I think I've seen at the football. So good.' 'Briggs > every grand final performer.' 'Briggs absolutely bangs!' 'I've seen enough, Briggs/A.B Original should do the GF.' Players from both sides entered the ground shortly after the entertainment, where they lined up for the traditional Dreamtime dance on the wing. Half-way through the moving cultural performance, players came together as one, locking arms side by side.
