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. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra teardown reveals two cooling systems

A recent discovery by iFixit indicates that the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra lineup has models with different cooling systems. Some use graphite layers, and others use copper steam chambers. The issue has generated buzz in the international media, especially after criticism regarding the “above normal” warming. But despite the explosive past of the Galaxy Note line, there is no evidence that excessive heat this time means anything bad.

According to iFixit, when disassembling a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, the cooling system used graphite layers. This is a surprise since the company usually uses copper vapor chambers. However, the dismantling of another “Ultra” revealed the traditional copper solution.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 20 Ultra different cooling systems

As per YouTuber, JerryRigEverything, the Note 20 Ultra Exynos 990 model has only a thin cooling pad made of graphite layers. As a result, Zack not only criticizes the inadequate cooling in his opinion, which is unworthy for a flagship but also the hardware.

That might not be a problem in a midrange phone. But with Samsung’s most expensive flagship, customers might not be comfortable with such experiments. Especially since there are already initial indications of some inexplicable differences in the efficiency of the individual Galaxy Note 20 Ultra models.

The problems related to heating could be due to the mechanism change. Some reviewers reported excess heat, and others did not have the same experience in their tests. The well-known leaker and XDA developer member, Max Weinbach, has said his Galaxy Note20 Ultra stays cool while that of a friend overheats.

If more such anecdotes emerge, that would not be good feedback for Samsung’s experiments with the Note 20 Ultra cooling systems. Samsung has not yet explained the reason for choosing two different systems for the same model, nor has it commented on the cases of heating of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
