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.

Xiaomi phone with 16GB RAM could launch soon

Xiaomi could soon become part of an elite segment for smartphones. The company is reportedly working on a phone with 16GB RAM, which is offered by few brands right now. It’s funny that the thought of phones with 16GB RAM doesn’t shock us anymore. This has become possible ever since the 6 and 8GB RAM variants have become extremely common.

After all, you can get phones costing up to Rs 15,000 with 6GB RAM, making it easily accessible to consumers. The trend has also shifted to 12GB RAM devices, something that OnePlus and Samsung have already got on board with. Later this year, Samsung is expected to launch Galaxy Note 20 with 12GB RAM as the standard. That’s how RAM-crazy it is out there right now.

Coming back to Xiaomi, the brand is most likely going to use its Mi Mix series to offer the 16GB RAM variant. This update has been teased by tipster Digital Chat Station earlier this week. Samsung is the manufacturer of both 12 and 16GB RAM packages. The company started mass production of the higher RAM variant from February this year.

It’s understandable that Xiaomi wants to be recognised among the smartphone elite. The company has revamped its Mi product line up, even in India, to be categorised in the premium segment. The Mi 10 is a prime example of its ambition, and the Mi Mix shows its potential as a technology disrupter. Which is why packing a Xiaomi phone with 16GB RAM doesn’t surprise us anymore, and we’re hoping to hear more about this device very soon.

However, this battle is not expected to be fought in the same way that Xiaomi did in the smartphone segment. In fact, the Mi Notebook from Xiaomi is tipped to be priced in the same range as its rivals
