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.

Android could finally remove video file size limit

Android folks, there might be good news for you in the coming months. Reports say that Android 11 will finally allow users to store video files that are bigger than 4GB. This is a much needed change because with improved cameras, the file sizes have also increased. Many phones now let you shoot videos in 4K, and you must have noticed files worth GBs created in minutes.

Removing this limit for video files ensures that people can make the best of 4K recording and large storage capacity on their phones. XDA Developers have confirmed this change, which will be making its way to most phones later this year.

About time, Android

It’s interesting to see that Google has taken a long time to remove this limit. The report says they haven’t changed the file size limit since 2014, when the Nexus 5 was launched.

But with rapidly changing camera ecosystem for mobile, it’s high time the change was made. Earlier you could have said that storage cards up to 32GB were available. Now you can easily get microSD cards with up to 512GB or more. By removing the limit, Google is also making sure that a single video does not split into different files. This was a big issue for Pixel phone users, making it hard to sync the footage. The report mentions that Android 11 beta is getting these changes.

Having said that, the update is only available with the Open Camera app for now. And it’s possible that Google will offer changes to its Camera app in the coming months. This news will please phone manufacturers also, especially when they are looking to support 8K video recording. No file size limit for video will encourage more people to shoot in the highest available quality on their smartphones.
