Apple will invest €1 billion in a new silicon design center in Munich
Apple announced it's investing €1 billion in a new silicon design center after spending just as much on its new R&D center in Munich two years ago. In fact, the new facility is treated as an expansion of the existing one since it will be located just across the street.
Apple wants to bring 2,000 of its engineers in one place, so they can work more efficiently with state-of-the-art equipment. Efforts will go toward developing custom silicon design, power management chips and future wireless technologies. The main goal is to improve Apple's devices' performance, efficiency and power savings.
With so much cash lying around, Apple was bound to announce a huge investment like this and we suspect that there's more to come in the near future. In the last five years, Apple has spent over €18 billion with more than 800 German companies and has provided numerous jobs in the country.
