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.

Realme teases 5G phone with support for 125W fast charging

Realme is no more a part of Oppo, instead of acting as a separate brand that makes devices targeted at the youth. However, the brand does take advantage of Oppo’s technology and resources to churn out better phones. Now, a day after Oppo revealed its plans to launch a 125W fast-charging solution, Realme made a similar revelation on its Weibo page.

The Realme post suggests an upcoming 5G smartphone that will feature ‘Super Flash Charge’ technology. At the same time, Realme CMO Xu Qi Chase posted the same image on his personal Weibo profile, with the number ‘1111101’, which is 125 in binary. This is a likely pointer to 125W fast charging tech.

Watch: Realme X50 Pro 5G First Impressions

However, unlike Oppo, Realme will not be using the VOOC and SuperVOOC branding for the fast charging technology. We saw the brand adopt a new name – SuperDart Flash Charge for the Realme X50 Pro, although the tech is exactly like Oppo’s SuperVOOC 2.0. Regardless the focus on battery life is finally appearing to be an important and rising trend. Realme is certainly taking note of it. The brand also recently teased another upcoming device that will feature a 6,000mAh battery.

In other news, iQOO also recently revealed its FlashCharge 120W ultra-fast charging technology. The brand already offers some fast charging solutions like 33W, 44W, and 55W on their phones. Now, the Chinese brand has unveiled the ultra-fast 120W fast charging technology. It promises to charge 50 percent of a 4,000mAh battery in just 5 minutes.

Vivo, the iQOO mother brand, presented its 120W FlashCharge technology at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai technology exhibition last year. However, its demonstration was somewhat technical, and the technology has not entered mass-production yet. Additionally, this new tech has yet to be included in any commercial smartphone. Therefore, today’s iQOO announcement can be called the world’s first 120W fast charging technology.
