“We are excited to expand our presence in Europe with the opening of a new design center in Iasi,” said Steven Hesley, vice president of Silicon Design Engineering at AMD. “Our Romanian team will focus on key design developments for future AMD Infinity Fabric processor architectures and technologies that will help improve future product processing experiences.”
Until the setting up of its own design center in Romania, AMD worked with Silicon Service company domestically for engineering services. Based on an agreement between the two companies, AMD will hire part of Silicon Service engineers for its own center. At the same time, though, AMD will further collaborate for the time being with domestic firm Silicon Service.
The Iasi-based design center will be managed by AMD Advanced Micro Devices SRL, established in July 2021.
Contacted by Ziarul Financiar, AMD officials did not provide any details about the amount invested in the new center in Iasi or the current number of employees, but specified the center is part of the company’s strategy to expand its team of engineers across Europe.
