The U.S. government is pouring $300 million into GlobalFoundries to supercharge research in silicon photonics — using light, not electricity, to move data between chips — a game-changing tech for AI data centers. This strategic move, funded by the CHIPS Act, aims to boost America’s edge in the global tech race, especially as China ramps up investments in quantum computing and manufacturing. By integrating photonics directly with AI processors, GlobalFoundries plans to hit 400 gigabits per second speeds and boost energy efficiency fivefold — all made domestically in New York and Vermont — securing U.S. leadership in next-gen computing.
