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.

Poco teases OnePlus Nord challenger, could launch soon

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco could soon launch a new phone which will compete with the OnePlus Nord. This information has been tweeted by Angus Kai Ho Ng, Product Marketing Manager of Poco this week. Poco is a mid-range brand and the news about them launching a Nord challenger hardly comes as a surprise. The tweet from Angus comes with hashtag #Pococomingsoon.

However, we still don’t have a lot of details about this Poco phone which could launch in the coming weeks. Reports suggest the Poco F2 Pro could be this device, which we already know is a rebranded Redmi K30 phone. This phone gets a 6.67-inch Super AMOLED display with HDR10+ support. It gets Widevine L1 certification and protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The device is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 865 SoC with 6GB or 8GB RAM options and up to 256GB storage.

But it’s possible Poco could use some other Xiaomi or Redmi phone to rival Nord as well. For now, we’re open to all possibilities. Considering the Nord is priced starting from Rs 24,999 in the market, it’s highly doubtful if Poco could offer the F2 Pro in that price bracket.

Poco rival OnePlus Nord specifications

The Nord is the company’s first mid-range smartphone in a long time. Instead of using a Snapdragon 800 series chip, OnePlus is relying on the Snapdragon 765G chip. This is a 5G chipset and paired with Oxygen OS 10 based on Android 10, one can expect fluid performance.

Watch Video: OnePlus Nord Review

A couple of highlights on the OnePlus Nord include a 48-megapixel quad camera setup. This main sensor is the same one as the primary unit on the OnePlus 8, complete with OIS. You will also be treated to an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera and another depth camera. OnePlus also bundles a 30W fast charger in the box, which is an added advantage.
