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.

Google Pixel Watch renders reveal minimal design, deeper Google Assistant integration

Google’s Pixel Smartwatch has been on the rumor mill for quite some time now. However, despite being the talk of the wearable town, there is not much known yet about the upcoming smartwatch. However, now ahead of an official launch, we have our first look at what appears to be the concept renders of the Google Pixel Watch.

Google’s Pixel Watch renders are based on 3D modeling and give us a better look at the wearable. Unlike the Apple Watch and other rectangular lookalikes, the new Google smartwatch carries the traditional circular dial we’ve been seeing on WearOS devices. The flat, bezel-less design, however, looks a lot different than the Samsung Galaxy Watch, which has a bulkier form factor.

There is no rotating crown or bezel. Instead, we have a minimal button on the right side of the device. “The Pixel Watch features a circular display with a soft-touch area creating a smooth tactile finish. The matte glass screen can always match the wrist band’s color when Always-On mode is on. The variety of matte and glossy materials adds a creamy and sleek feel to the smartwatch experience,” says the James Tsai report.

We can see the Always-On display in full glory in the renders, along with other features and elements like an animated clock and various UI transitions.  We also see much deeper integration with Google Assistant on the Pixel Watch, which is unsurprising.

Recent reports have suggested that the upcoming Google Pixel smartwatch will feature an optimized and personalized version of a chipset manufactured by Samsung. The company may also integrate fitness and health-oriented features from its recently acquired Fitbit branch. While there is no word on an official launch timeline, we could expect the Google Pixel Watch to launch alongside a new Pixel phone, likely the Pixel 5.
