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.

Month’s ahead of schedule? That’s not my germany anymore. /s
It’s ok, the employees are still waiting for the train to take them there.
You don’t know how accurate you are. Infineons Munich offices have some notoriously flaky train connections. Waiting like an hour for the next train isn’t uncommon, even though it’s seemingly close to Munich’s main train lines 🥹
Na don’t worry, this is PR. They may be just installed some of the machines and getting processes running. There is plenty of time to fuck it all up. The benchmark is when do they deliver and how much of it.
Its mostly public projects tbh. Private businesses can be quite quick when they have regulatory backing (I know your comment was just satire)
