Real men have fabs!

“Real men have fabs” was an insult AMD founder Jerry Sanders hurled at his poor competitors who could not afford to build fabs. A few years later, AMD would be fabless, spinning off its manufacturing facilities as GlobalFoundries. This was the beginning of a transformative period for the industry.
Lisa Su could rightfully retort: “Real women don’t need fabs!”
Before the transformative era, all semiconductor companies were Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDM) that held the reins of designing, manufacturing, packaging, testing, and selling all their semiconductors.
(...and much more.)
Well worth a read IMO.
