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 11 might get released on September 8; reveals Google video

Android 11 might be released officially on September 8. The information appeared in a video now taken down by Google. The search giant published a video on YouTube for the “Hey Google Smart Home Summit” which revealed the possible launch date of Android 11. One of the slides on this unpublished developer-focused video showed the September 8 launch for Android 11. The video showed “September 8th Android 11 Launch”, according to Android Police. There is even a checklist for this launch seen in one of the slides.

Android 11 might be released on this day

The video does not give away anything more than the possible launch date of Android 11. In fact, the video is aimed to ensure that Google Assistant-enabled smart home device makers are ready for that date. The date is in-line with Google’s proposed roadmap where the launch is tipped for the third quarter of this year. Google dropped Android 11 Beta 2 yesterday and is set to release Android 11 Beta 3 next month. With that in mind, the release of Android 11 in September is plausible.

There may still be a delay in the launch but it should happen sometime in September. As Android Police notes Google had promised developers “11 weeks of Android” starting on the week of June 15. This was shortly after the release of Android 11 Beta 1. This launch date goes well with that promised timeline. With Android 11 having reached platform stability, the release candidate is just a few weeks away. Now, the launch timeline will change only if there are any big developments internal or external.

Further, Google tends to release major Android updates on a Monday. With September 8 being Tuesday, we could be looking at a small change this year. With September 7 being Labor Day week, Google might have revised its planned release. We will have to wait and see if Google sticks to this timeline. However, for a lot of Android users around the world, the release date of Android 11 should not be a concern. The real interest lies in whether Android OEMs deliver the update on time or whether they do so after six months.
