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.

New OnePlus smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 processor appears on GeekBench

The OnePlus Nord will launch on July 21, later this month, and be the manufacturer’s first mid-range smartphone in several years. However, it may not be the only mid-range phone from the brand we see this year. Now, a new smartphone has been spotted in Geekbench website under the name “OnePlus BE2028″. The rumors indicate that this smartphone could launch as the Nord Lite.

OnePlus Nord Lite expected specifications

The Geekbench listing shows that the phone has 6GB of RAM, runs Android 10 OS, and comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 SoC. The OnePlus Nord will feature the Snapdragon 765 processor, as confirmed by the company, so this new smartphone has to be another model.

Watch: OnePlus 8 Pro Camera Review

The Snapdragon 690 SoC was announced last month as Snapdragon’s first 600 series 5G processor. It is an 8nm chipset with 2 Kryo 560 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and 6 Cortex-A55 cores at 1.7GHz. It equips an Adreno 619L GPU. The chipset also has Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6 and supports Full HD+ displays with a 120Hz refresh rate and Quad HD+ screen with a 60Hz display.

Based on the chipset’s characteristics, we can deduce some of the specifications of this OnePlus phone. For starters, it could flaunt a Full HD+ screen with a refresh rate of at least 90Hz. The brand already said last year that all of its phones will have a high refresh rate, and we assume this applies to its mid-range smartphones as well.

Although the official name of this phone is unknown, it could likely be the OnePlus Nord Lite. The company has already confirmed that Nord is a new line of affordable smartphones. Hence, any OnePlus device that isn’t a flagship will launch under the Nord family. It is likely that the device will be priced under Rs. 20,000 segment. We hope that more details about this device will come to light in the coming weeks.
