Accounting Policies, Changes In Accounting Estimates And Errors [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Statement of Compliance — The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, included in GLOBALFOUNDRIES' Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee of GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ Board of Directors on May 16, 2023, to be issued and subsequent events have been evaluated for their potential effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements through May 18, 2022. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Significant Accounting Policies — Except as set forth below, the accounting policies (including accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions) adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. Property, Plant and Equipment — We periodically assess the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment. As a result of a review completed in April 2023, the Company concluded the estimated maximum useful life of buildings should be increased from 26 years to 50 years. This change in estimate was applied prospectively, effective beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The Company determined that the change in estimated maximum useful lives of buildings did not have a material impact on the financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Adopted: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (“IBOR reform”) Refer to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Income taxes [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	Income taxes For tax reporting purposes, the Company consolidates its entities under GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc., a Cayman Islands entity. As a Cayman Islands corporation, the Company’s domestic statutory income tax rate is 0.0%. The difference between the Company’s domestic statutory income tax rate and its effective income tax rate reflected in the income tax benefit or income tax expense is primarily due to the effect of the tax rates and permanent differences in the other jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 8.3% and 14.0%, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year was primarily due to an improved mix of income in certain jurisdictions and a benefit related to Singapore tax incentives, partially offset by additional withholding tax expense accrued in the United States.

Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES	Fair Value Measurements The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: • Level 1: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices in active markets in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and • Level 3: unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring management judgment to develop the Company’s own models with estimates and assumptions. Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents include investments in government obligation-based money market funds, other money market instruments and interest-bearing deposits with initial or remaining terms of three months or less. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates its carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Marketable Securities - Marketable securities include U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, floating rate securities, money market mutual funds, corporate debt instruments and other Notes, bonds or debt securities issued by non-U.S. sovereign or multilateral entities, as these securities all have quoted prices in active markets. The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: (in millions) Quoted Prices Identical Assets/ Liabilities Significant Other Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) December 31, 2022 Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 961 $ 961 $ — $ — Equity instruments (2) $ 15 $ — $ — $ 15 Derivatives (3) $ 177 $ — $ 177 $ — Marketable securities $ 994 $ 994 $ — $ — Liabilities: Derivatives (3) $ 66 $ — $ 66 $ — March 31, 2023 Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 1,408 $ 1,408 $ — $ — Equity instruments (2) $ 15 $ — $ — $ 15 Derivatives (3) $ 166 $ — $ 166 $ — Marketable securities $ 976 $ 976 $ — $ — Liabilities: Derivatives (3) $ 33 $ — $ 33 $ — (1) Included in cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

Included in other current and non-current financial assets on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position . During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based payment arrangements [Abstract]
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION	Share-Based CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee, consultant, and non-employee director share option awards, in our consolidated financial statements based on fair value. The fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options, and the Monte Carlo simulation model for the performance share units and a share price at the grant date for the restricted share units. The Black-Scholes model and Monte Carlo model both require management to make certain assumptions of future expectations based on historical and current data. The assumptions include the expected term of the awards, expected volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate. The expected term represents the amount of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding, based on forecasted exercise behavior. The option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock, expected term of the awards, expected volatility of the price of the Company’s shares, risk free interest rate and the expected dividend yield of ordinary shares. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the option awards represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The Company estimates the expected forfeiture for options utilizing historical data, and only recognizes expense when a defined liquidity event (change in control or IPO) is deemed probable on the number of awards that are expected to vest. After applying a forfeiture estimate during each reporting period for when they are probable of vesting, the Company recognizes expense on a graded attribution basis for each tranche of the award over the period from the grant date to the later of the one-year anniversary of estimated time following a liquidity event or the legal vesting dates.The Company offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan which provides eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase our ordinary shares through payroll deductions of up to 10% of their eligible compensation. A participant may purchase a maximum of 2,500 ordinary shares during the purchase period. Amounts deducted and accumulated by the participant are used to purchase ordinary shares at the end of each six-month period, with the Company matching 20% of each employee's contributions on an after-tax basis.

Accounting Policies, Changes In Accounting Estimates And Errors [Abstract]
Basis of Consolidation	Statement of Compliance — The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, included in GLOBALFOUNDRIES' Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee of GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ Board of Directors on May 16, 2023, to be issued and subsequent events have been evaluated for their potential effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements through May 18, 2022. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Significant Accounting Policies — Except as set forth below, the accounting policies (including accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions) adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Property, Plant, and Equipment	We periodically assess the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment. As a result of a review completed in April 2023, the Company concluded the estimated maximum useful life of buildings should be increased from 26 years to 50 years. This change in estimate was applied prospectively, effective beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The Company determined that the change in estimated maximum useful lives of buildings did not have a material impact on the financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
