Those $3 billions are not to make a new plant, that's the sum of money IBM has invested into the research of this tech along with the State University of New York, Samsung and GloFo.

IBM has no plans to build a new plant. After all, they have just sold all their current plants to GloFo, so why build a new one.

Well, the article says otherwise. Unless GlobalFoundries are one of the partners, which is likely.

Yes, GloFo and Samsung are partners of this joint venture, but that chip was made at a SUNY/IBM research facility:
