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.

Apple is working on a new cheaper iPad Air with A13 processor: Report

It seems that Apple is working on a new version of the iPad Air that could be available with a more affordable price tag than expected. A new report from DigiTimes says that Apple is accelerating its supply chain to produce a new lineup of iPad Air devices that might be launched this year. It is rumored to offer the latest technology at an affordable price segment. The strategy seems to be similar to that of the iPhone SE 2020.

Price, features (expected)

According to rumors, the alleged Apple iPad Air 2020 would launch with a 10.8-inch screen and A13 Bionic processor, compared to its predecessor. Moreover, the new iPad Air 2020 is said to cost around $500 (approximately Rs 37,500). However, the price factor is still just a rough guess and could change up to any minute before the official launch.

Old rumors suggested that the iPad Air 2020 would finally put aside the lightning port and adopt the USB Type-C port. It may also have narrower frames. At the moment, it is unknown whether this tablet will be equipped with a TouchID fingerprint reader (like its predecessor) or a face recognition sensor.

These rumors are in line with analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s previous report. He asserted that Apple has plans to release a new 10.8-inch iPad in the second half of 2020, with an 8.5-inch iPad going on sale next year (in the first half of 2021). He also speculates that Apple will include a 20-watt fast charging adapter with both the iPads.

Apple is likely to introduce the new iPad Air model at the September 2020 keynote. During this conference, the company will also present the new iPhone 12-series. The lineup likely consists of four devices, including the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Max, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
