Why GlobalFoundries Couldn’t Give Abu Dhabi a Semiconductor Fab

Note:
- I did not notice that I pronounced it "muDaBala", but it should be "muBaDala".

Missed opportunity to call it Fabu Dhabi.

The pearl industry has fallen. Billions must watch the video

"Nobody watched the pearl video"
Me doing an Elrond voice: I was there three thousand years ago

[andersjjensen]

Heeey, mah man? I watched the cultured pearls video and enjoyed it!
That said, I'm sorry for Abu's loss. They'll never make that back. But I'm happy that AMD got out. "Real men" or not they have certainly lit a fire under Intel, which was sorely needed.

I saw the pearl episode and now I’m a nobody…ouch.

"I did a whole video on the pearl diving industry in UAE that nobody watched"

...I watched it and found it extremely fascinating!! Thank you for putting it together.

Did not notice any (unplanned foley) noises... just lots of great detailed 'reporting.' Keep up the stuff you are doing well, and let the chips fall.

Hey! I watched your pearl fishing video! And I found it very interesting.

Years ago I spoke to a guy who was working in a new fab in europe, EU was giving Tons of public money to a bunch of 9-to-5 mon-to-fri gov employees, pen pushers with CV's filled up academic EU crap..

The point is that they had chosen a fab location really close to a major motorway.

For months their yield was below potato roots and they didn't know why.

After a lot of money on external contractors they found out that the vibrations from the rolling traffic along the nearby motorway was affecting the accuracy of a bunch of instruments that were suffering mechanical jitter invisible to eye, ruining batch after bach the production.

If some cars and lorries rolling nearby can ruin the entire chip production, all the aircraft traffic of a world airport just around the corner .. why didn't they choose a place far away from ANY traffic?

bro, I watched the pearl industry video, atleast half of it

I liked the pearl video very unique wouldn't have known about it unless saw this thanks for promoting it

A completely different topic. Malta NY is also famous for being the place where German rocket engines were fired after WWII. While von Braun and his team were holed up in White Sands NM, American engineers were playing with the German hardware at the test stands in Malta.

Critically studying the available hardware was a very useful experience, from which the next generation of engine technology emerged. When von Braun was finally building his US Redstone ballistic missile, he was already buying for it a commercially available US-designed and built engine, which was considerably more advanced compared to the original German know-how.

I watched your Pearl industry video lol

[nah]

Here I was, wondering if I had been reading "Mubadala" wrong all these years.

[aidanstarke]

Loved that video. How could I not click a title about diving for pearls.

[edp]

keep up the videos bro. thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[oadka]

Fantastic video as always. Your narration and style of videography is very calming.

[DanWorksTV]

48.000 people watched the pearl industry video

I haven't watched video yet, but comments are talking about "Pearl Industry video". Which I did watch. And honestly I like it, because it's a bit different, but kind of different that this channel talks about non-stop.
