What I like about this article is the fact that the relationship between Apple, Samsung and GF was cultivated in 2013 under the leadership of AM.
Update: Who will manufacture the Apple A9?

..."As we all know Apple has disrupted many different industries with innovative technology and aggressive business practices, the semiconductor industry included. Apple is now one of the largest and most innovative fabless semiconductor companies and becoming part of their supply chain is bringing a whole new level of competition amongst the fabless semiconductor ecosystem.
..."Apple amongst many others (myself included) really wants GF to be successful for the greater good of the pure-play foundry business".
An interesting thing: On one side of the briefing table was Ana Hunter, Vice President of GLOBALFOUNDRIES, formerly Vice President Foundry, Samsung Semiconductors. On the other side was Kelvin Low, Senior Director, Foundry Marketing Samsung, formerly Director Product Marketing, GLOBALFOUNDRIES. It's a small world after all.
Ana Hunter was instrumental in the foundry relationship between Samsung and Apple so who better to bring Apple to GF?
..........and who better to bring Poet into that relationship than AM?
