Infineon Technologies' new Smart Power Fab expands chip manufacturing in Germany with a massive $5.7 billion investment.

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.

    Unless you trying to friendlify data centers…

      Unless you trying to friendlify data centers…

      “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.”

      The term “help” appears after the data centres.

      Besides, how would friendlifying the chips extend to the data centres they’re used for? It still doesn’t justify the data centres. If I help with beating up a grandma, that still doesn’t make beating up the grandma a good thing or make my “help” actually friendly.

      Anyway if water isn’t a tool then how water hammer?

      Take your pick:

      1. “Water isn’t a tool” was said in the specific context of making tea and was not intended to be understood as some universal description
      2. “Water hammer” is a physical effect wherein the water is merely the carrier for the inertia that produces the effect
      3. Nice pedantry
