AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Poco M2 Pro spotted in Bluetooth SIG, Wi-Fi Alliance databases ahead of imminent launch

Whether the Poco F2 Pro is coming to India or not is still up in the air. However, another Poco smartphone is definitely on its way to the country. The Poco M2 Pro, which we heard about a couple of weeks ago is an upcoming mid-range phone within the now supposedly independent Poco wing of Xiaomi. The Poco M2 Pro has the code name gram, and the model number M2003J6CI. The same smartphone was spotted on the Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG databases recently.

As per the Bluetooth SIG listing, the Poco M2 Pro is revealed to come with the Bluetooth 5.0 unsurprisingly and is loaded with the MIUI 11 custom skin. The Declaration ID of the smartphone matches the Redmi Note 9 models, which again is not surprising because of two reasons. The first is that Poco still has deep connections with Xiaomi, right to the software they use on their phones. The second is that both the recent Poco branded devices we have seen so far are rebranded Redmi K-series devices.

Further evidence of the Poco M2 Pro being a Redmi Note 9 series device, particularly the Redmi Note 9 Pro, is the kernel source code for the phone codenamed gram. The source code matches that of the Redmi Note 9 Pro. The Wi-Fi Alliance listing meanwhile suggests that the new Poco phone will come with Android 10 with MIUI 11 on top. It will also feature dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity.

The rebranding strategy worked with the Poco X2 because Xiaomi did not launch the Redmi K30 in India. However, the Redmi Note 9 Pro (the phone the M2 Pro is supposedly based on) has already launched in India. So it remains to be seen if the M2 Pro does actually end up being a rebranded Note 9 Pro.
