TSMC, Bosch, Infineon, and NXP to build fab in Germany

Dresden has been a semimanufactoring hub in Eastern Germany for quite some time.

I believe this started in GDR times and continued (at massively reduced capacity) after the reunification.

Intel, AMD, Infineon and others operate (or plan to build) factories in Dresend (or saxony in general) and its reasonable to assume that experienced workers and local suppliers make the area a preffered location.

Given Eastern Germanys weak economic situtation these are very welcome investments.

Intel will settle in Magdeburg. The "AMD" Fab in Dresden belongs to GlobalFoundries (AMD sold its last GlobalFoundries shares in 2012).
