GlobalFoundries Broadens Physical AI Capabilities Through Synopsys ARC Unit

GlobalFoundries announced an expansion of its Physical AI portfolio. The move incorporates technology from Synopsys’ ARC unit. Physical AI combines hardware and software to accelerate AI inference at the silicon level. The partnership gives GlobalFoundries access to ARC’s design tools and IP. Customers can expect faster development cycles for AI‑optimized chips. The collaboration supports the company’s roadmap for advanced process nodes. Industry analysts view the step as strengthening GlobalFoundries’ position in AI hardware. The firms will begin joint development projects later this year.
