Microchip maker AMD is set to create nearly 300 jobs in Dublin and Cork over the next four years, after announcing plans for a €123m investment.
The company, which creates chips used in everything from Tesla cars to NASA's Mars Rover said the investment aims to add up to 290 new jobs and fund R&D projects for next generation AI, data centre, networking and 6G communications infrastructure. Along with the highly skilled engineering and research positions, there will also be "a broad range of additional support roles".
The company first established Irish operations in 1994 with the first purpose-built site outside of the US, and began operations a year later. Since then, Ireland has now become home to one of the largest AMD R&D sites in Europe with a strong record of delivering products with significant commercial success.
