Xilinx Opens 7.5-Million-Euro Research Centre in Ireland

Dublin -- Xilinx, a U.S.-based maker of semiconductor chips,
announced that it has opened a new 7.5-million-euro research centre in
Dublin -- its first expansion of research facilities outside the U.S.
Xilinx's headquarters in Dublin already houses an R&D, operations and
engineering centre, in which the company has invested about 125
million euro. Xilinx's latest expansion will specialise in networking and
emerging network architectures. Irish Minister for Enterprise, Trade
and Employment Micheal Martin welcomed the news. "This
investment by Xilinx Ireland in R&D further enhances the company's
profile as a model of how an international company in Ireland can
develop beyond its original mandate to become a key link in the
company's global chain," he said.
