that's my point. how does OP know GlobalFoundries is capable of 7nm if they can'...

I agree, and I wrote a longer comment agreeing with your point at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44503245.

They signed a contract with IBM to manufacture their chips at 7nm (and reneged).

No I don't have insider info. Neither do you. What an ridiculous nit to pick.

You're the one claiming it's the "most moronic decision ever".

The burden of proof is on you to support your claim that they could have executed a 7nm process profitably, as opposed to them looking at the data and coming to a rational conclusion that they couldn't.

Right, it seems like kasabali is making claims that are considerably more absolute than they would be able to justify without insider info.

Why the fuck I'd have to prove that given that GloFo themselves claimed that they pulled out of it because it'd be unprofitable? Some people in this subthread are very eager to put words into my mouth.
