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.

YouTube Music appears on Android TV, but inside existing YouTube app

Like it or not, Youtube Music is surely growing, looking to likely replace Google Play Music completely eventually. Google has been continuously adding new features to YouTube’s music-only counterpart. Yet, the app is yet to completely catch up to Google Play Music in terms of compatibility, and Android-TV support is one of those areas. However, a new feature by the company solves this, well, somewhat.

While a separate YouTube Music application is still not present for Android TV, Google has decided to integrate the functionality within the existing YouTube app. A new update on Android TV has added a new ‘Music’ tab to the sidebar of the YouTube app on Android TV. As pointed out by XDA, the implementation merges YouTube recommendations along with content from your history and ends up feeling half-baked.

The main con with the weird implementation is that since it is not a separate app, there is no background playback yet. You cannot leave the app if you want your music to keep playing. Further on, there is no shuffle or repeat feature for now. There is no toggle to shift between video and audio modes either. Managing your own playlists is also still not possible and users will also have to give up on accessing their full music library or uploaded music.

Separate YouTube Music app expected eventually

This naturally doesn’t work out for most people who actually use YouTube Music. The main features that made the app become a separate entity from the normal YouTube app are missing here. What we can take from this is that the implementation is actually a temporary hold-over until Google is developing a separate app for the music-streaming service on Android TV.

We will then likely see YouTube Music in its full prime on the interface, with features including background playback coming back.  For now, a better way to listen to music from your TV is to simply cast your phone on the Android TV interface and use YouTube Music from there instead.
