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.

Realme X50 Pro Player Edition leaked specifications reveal downgraded 48MP camera

We recently heard about a new variant of the Realme X50 Pro flagship phone that was to launch as a gaming-oriented device. This smartphone will be called the Realme X50 Pro Player Edition. The brand has already shared a couple of posters and live images of the smartphone, which essentially looks identical to the regular X50 Pro except the new color.

Now, new information from a Chinese tipster has revealed the full specifications of the upcoming Realme X50 Pro Player Edition smartphone. As per the source, the Realme X50 Pro Player Edition will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC and will feature 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. However, there could also be other memory configurations available.

The Realme X50 Pro Player Edition is expected to feature a 6.44-inch 2400×1080 pixel resolution along with 90Hz refresh-rate support. The official-looking render has confirmed that the screen will also feature a pill-shaped notch in the top left of the phone. This notch will feature a 16-megapixel and a 2-megapixel camera sensor.

Further, there is a quad-camera setup on the back. This includes a 48-megapixel main camera along with an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera and two 2-megapixel cameras for depth and macro sensing. The main sensor here is a downgrade compared to the regular Realme X50 Pro which features a 64-megapixel main sensor.

Why the downgraded camera?

This might be a cost-cutting maneuver for the Realme X50 Pro Player Edition to rather focus on other aspects of the phone that will be more useful to gamers. This also makes sense because if you buy the phone to quench your gaming thirst, chances are a 64-to-48 megapixel downgrade won’t be a dealbreaker for you. Moreover, it isn’t a very big downgrade either. The difference in picture quality is expected to be negligible here, the main difference being only the actual size of the image. It is also noteworthy that the average person probably cannot tell the difference between a 64-megapixel and 48-megapixel shot anyway.

Furthermore, the Realme X50 Pro Player Edition will feature an in-display fingerprint scanner and pack a 4,300 mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging. The 8GB/128GB variant of the gaming phone is expected to cost about CNY 3,299 (about Rs 35,231). The phone is set to launch on May 25, with a bunch of other Realme products.
