Employees lawsuit In the development center of Infineon Romania, Infineon Technologies CO & SCS, where Infineon has a lot of tax facilities from the Romanian government, a scandal errupted in early 2007 due to high number of people who left the company due to poor working conditions.In order to keep their current working people Infineon sued a lot of ex-employees.

Community support Infineon technologies supports local high schools with F.I.R.S.T. robotics . They currently help three local schools in Richmond, Virginia - Atlee HS, Tucker HS, and Highland Springs Tech Center (HTA (school))

AENEON AENEON™ was introduced in 2005. AENEON is a DRAM memory family of Infineon and fits into standard Personal computers and notebooks.

AENEON targets whitebox (non-brand) Personal computer and notebook manufacturers world wide, as well as the European retail segment and end users (web shop). AENEON DRAM memory focuses the "price-performance" segment.

Price advantages are obtained due to a limited product portfolio (only unbuffered and SO-DIMM), and due to outsourced modul assembly. The DRAM components, however, are "Made by Infineon™".
