A German news-paper reported that Advanced Micro Devices is planning to build yet another fab in Germany. This would be the third plant for the chipmaker in Saxony, if the report turns out to be correct.

Tax exemptions and 100s of millions € subsidies from state government might have an influence on this decision :P Anyway, what is your problem with germany?

I was just thinking that all in the same country is kind a odd..
Might make shareholders think that they are too friendly with the germans or something.. :)

Europe doesnt have technology, that's why Germany is paying AMD to bring it to them.

There was fab in my country some good old days. And there were technologies that nobody could overcome. But that sadly is in the past. I`m glad that AMD builds fabs in Germany and not in China. So the products will be more qualitative. And more Athlons could be well OCed. :banana:

From what I heard, the original Fab 30 was put in Dresden because there were a ton of east german scientists out of work after the USSR collapsed. Lots of pre-trained, talented workers :)

Das is the ultimate troll.
Grrrrr...
But i admit that US makes more money out of "high tech".
ps. European tech at it's best is SOOO high tech that even hollywood screenwriters can't produce it.. :D

All I know about Germany (only being there once) is that they are very strict in the way they work. If they miss something but just a little, they will work until they fix it, or make a new one.
