Now Italian tech site Bits 'n Chips claims that Abu Dhabi's ATIC is in the process of looking for a buyer for GlobalFoundries. ATIC owns about 90 percent of GlobalFoundries, the investment vehicle's goal was to diversity out of fossil fuels but the whole semiconductor endeavour hasn't really been a smashing hit.
As the site reports, this isn't the first time this rumor surfaces, but this time there may not be a saving angel:
It’s not the first time we hear this rumor, but this time there will not be another IBM, ready to donate 1.5 billion dollars and the foundry business almost for free.
