Infineon Technologies has opened its Smart Power Fab in Dresden, Germany, months ahead of schedule, bringing the world’s largest manufacturing facility for intelligent power semiconductors and analog/mixed-signal technologies into operation.
The facility represents a €5 billion (about $5.7 billion) investment, the largest in the company’s history. It creates 1,000 direct jobs and doubles Infineon’s manufacturing capacity in Dresden.
The factory will produce chips that improve how electricity is converted and managed. Those devices will support AI data centers. They will also help power electricity grids and software-defined vehicles.
…
“those devices will support AI data centers” of course it fucking will and fuck everyone else i guess.
Gotta hit the buzzwords!
SEO had ruined journalism.
This will be good for renewables. Every solar inverter and wind turbine needs this stuff
Germany or Infineon opens fab? I wish it was to produce RAM.
A bit late. EU are warring with Russia and thus becoming an energy desert and an economic disaster area. If this fab uses much energy, their products will become expensive af and competitiveness is gone. Their products cant alleviate that power scarcity.
Funny, Russia is also becoming an energy desert.
Lol.
