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.

iQOO Z1X with Snapdragon 765G chipset could be a cheaper version of the iQOO Z1 5G

The Vivo iQOO Z1 is a recently launched 5G-enabled gaming smartphone. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ chipset, the phone is a full-fledged powerhouse performer. Now, iQOO is apparently making a less powerful version of the smartphone called the iQOO Z1X. Apart from the larger more powerful iQOO Z1 that is already up for sale in areas where it was launched, the Z1X will be a more affordable phone.

The phone is reportedly powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G mid-range gaming chipset. The leak with the information came from a Weibo post by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station. The post itself has since been deleted. However, the tipster’s other posts so far have been pretty accurate leaks, so this one shouldn’t be any different.

Watch: Xiaomi Mi 10 5G Review

If launched in June or July, the iQOO Z1X could collide with other smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 765G processor. This includes the upcoming Oppo Reno 4 and the OnePlus Z. Alternatively, the phone could be a cheaper alternative than the other Snapdragon 765G phones, which could make it a favorable choice for users.

As per AnTuTu benchmarks, the Snapdragon 765G scores are often inferior to those of the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 by about 15 to 20 percent. This is the case even when the two phones in comparison are running on the same software, like the Oppo Reno 3 5G and the Reno 3 Pro 5G. This means that if the iQOO Z1X is priced anywhere close to the iQOO Z1, it might not be a likely choice for people looking for performance.

In other news, the iQOO 3 is now available in India starting at Rs 31,990 as part of a limited time offer. To get the offer while purchasing the iQOO 3 phone, you’ll have to use an ICICI Bank Credit Card, Credit Card EMI, or if applicable to you, Debit Card EMI. The new offer makes the phone one of the cheapest smartphones you can buy in the country right now with the Snapdragon 865 SoC.
