Paul,

Welcome aboard!

<What is depreciation?>

An accounting thing that hits AMD's expenses line once the fab goes into production.

< Do you mean Dresden is going to lose net value or something? >

Yes. Almost every capital expenditure item one buys loses value from the day it is bought. There are rules on when and how companies account for that. For fabs it happens to be the day that the company decides that the fab is in production.
