Global Foundries operates on a standard contract fab model so it's not really surprising that they built the BFL devices.


 Partly true - they do have some extensive contracts with IBM and AMD dating back to the "fab spinoff" days and amended/updated every so often that lock up a lot of their capacity if IBM or AMD wants that capacity.

 The contract fab model applies to whatever is "left over".
