David grows fast--AMD plans already the extension of the location Dresden
The new " Vice President " of AMD and managing director in Dresden, Hans Hans-Raimund Deppe, over strategies and development plans.
AMD cultivates. A new pure space develops over a building already existing. When do engineers draw in there? We are situated in the schedule and in the second quarter the equipment will bring in. In the further process of the yearly we want to have the area raising run and to the turn of the year here substantial production processes.
Were this cultivation and development from the outset planned? In these details not. But at that time, when " the Fab " was planned, product and technology in details were not even certain. Now additional space requirement becomes obviously. We add that to approximately 9,000 square meters pure space about 25 per cent. We have then still another further option for the future to cultivate later again well 2,000 square meters of pure space surface.
How highly are the investments for the cultivation altogether? It concerns here a three-figure amount of millions.
the building, which is added about still at equipment already, costs 80 million Marks? An in any case repeated.
They spoke of a second development. When does that come? Planning in addition runs, we hopes for a firm resolution in the second half of this yearly. Concerns an extension for existing production. This becomes necessary for the next microprocessor generation, for which we prepare here in Dresden.
Do additional jobs bring? , however we can call in any case ones still no numbers.
When does the Dresdner Fab " bring " the full performance? Starting from end of the yearly. Additionally we prepare the change for the next product, " the hammer ". That is at the same time also a new technology, which is better a whole order of magnitude.
Would the demand for AMD processors does continue to rise in such a way, have to be built then not as soon as possible a new factory? It could be also a second module, which is added to the present factory. Then again the entire infrastructure does not have to be structured.
When does the decision fall? Still in this year.
Can Dresden keep up with the international location Poker? The city and the surrounding countryside have to offer much. Much too few only know that outside from Saxonia. There the city should agitate already still somewhat more the boost. The image outward can be further-improved still clearly. For example too few know, how well the technical faculties train here. Apart from few exceptions they are situated clearly in their efficiency over those in West Germany.
Dresden applies as location. Are the chances how large? Since partly the same suppliers serve us as Infineon, we have a outstanding Erfahrungspotenzial before place additionally to have we here a well working infrastructure. The at present highest performance AMD factory is here, the student numbers at the technical universities rises clearly.
Is sufficient? From our view that is all contributions to an almost ideal constellation. But the decision falls in the company head office in the USA. And we are embedded into federalpolitical basic conditions, whose development is pursued by the Americans with Argusaugen.
How are there competition locations which can be taken much seriously? Fewer than a half dozen.
When does the new factory come? That will be a 300-Millimeter-Fabrik, which we will take in three to four years in operation. We talk here about one zirka four-billion-dollar investment, which would offer workstations for well over 1,000 coworkers. The location decision is to fall in the second yearly half.
Lately some semiconductor factories were added into East Germany. There don't the college graduates become scarce? It is not indeed any longer as easy as at the start to find the correct people. But in the meantime the student numbers in the courses of studies important for us again clearly, in Dresden, Chemnitz increase and also in free mountain, of where we adjust many coworkers.
The global semiconductor market slipped deeply in the economical valley. How hard does it meet AMD? We are in the lucky position to sell not only all which we manufacture in Dresden. We could issue still more at the market. Gigahertz processors of AMD are the racer on the market. Thus we demonstrated our efficiency clearly to the competition - the dream each David. That brings naturally also printing to start up " " the Fab still faster.
How quickly are the processors from the Dresdner " Fab " at present? Those bring it loosely on 1.2 gigahertz. From the competition we do not see these numbers of items within this area so far. Those perhaps underestimated, particularly us in Dresden.
Does AMD this Sprint hold out further, does remain it with the 30 per cent desired market share? In any case one. At present we are situated with approximately 17 per cent. By nine processor manufacturers, whom there were still before ten years, with considerable market shares only Intel and AMD remained world-wide. We must our proportion thus faster than the world market grow, want we further increase.
