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.

Asus ZenFone 7 specifications leak, will retain 60Hz LCD display and Flip Camera module

The ZenFone 7 is set to launch on August 26 in Taiwan and leaks have already started pouring in. So far, we have seen an official teaser and some leaked specifications to ogle at. If you were left wanting for more, we have got some more intel on the ZenFone 7. A tipster on Twitter has shared an in-depth account of a Japanese website hunting specifications from the Kernel code. The ZenFone 7 is essentially an updated version of the Asus 6Z.

From the kernel code, it is evident that Asus is retaining a lot of the Asus 6Z into the ZenFone 7. The Flip Camera is making a return and so is the 60Hz LCD display. Yes, there’s no fancy high refresh rate AMOLED display on the ZenFone 7. However, these features get a 2020 upgrade and that only means it will be good for those waiting for the smartphone.

WATCH: Asus ROG Phone 3 Review

The ZenFone 7 will have the Flip Camera from the Asus 6Z but with a few changes. Instead of two cameras, there will be a total of three sensors. The main camera will use a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 sensor. This will be accompanied by a 12-megapixel Sony IMX363 sensor as an ultra-wide camera. The third camera will be a Time-of-Fight (ToF) sensor. Hence, you can expect better depth effects with portrait mode photos.

No notch, no punch-hole on ZenFone 7

Due to the Flip Camera, the ZenFone 7 will have no notch or punch-hole cutout for the camera. Therefore, Asus has managed to put a 6.4-inch bezel-less display similar to the Asus 6Z. That also confirms the presence of an LCD panel with a refresh rate of 60Hz. The display will be manufactured by BOE and will have Full HD+ pixel resolution.

There will also be a capacitive fingerprint sensor made by Goodix. The sensor module number suggests that this sensor could be mounted on the side. The Asus 6Z had its fingerprint sensor at the back under the Flip Camera. Asus is moving the sensor to the side similar to more modern Android phones.

Finally, there’s the chipset and this is going to be the same one from any 2020 flagship Android phone. The ZenFone 7 is coming with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset and that ensures 5G connectivity for the phone. The kernel also suggests a dedicated microSD card slot along with a dual SIM port on the ZenFone 7.

While it is still early to believe these specifications, it seems that the ZenFone 7 is a mild upgrade. That said, the upgrades are in-line with the 2020 standards. We assume that Asus is reserving more exciting upgrades for the ZenFone 7 Pro. The Pro model is expected to borrow more features from the ROG Phone 3.
