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 Duo makes its debut on Android TV: Check details, how it works

Google Duo is now compatible with big-screen Android TVs. The feature was being tested for TVs in beta mode for quite some time. But now, as per this report, users can actually download the app and use its calling functionality on their TV. The only catch is, you need to have smart TVs powered by the Android TV platform. The app is available through the regular Google Play Store.

The decision is yet another part of the company’s strategy to capitalize on the increased demand for video calls. This is due to the quarantines imposed around the world as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to bring the video calling experience to more parts of your home, Google Duo is being launched in Beta on Android TV within the next few weeks,” the company said in this post a few weeks back.

Google Duo on Android TV: How it works

The whole process is easier if the TV has a built-in camera. In that case, just open the app to start a conversation with a person or a group quickly. However, if your Smart TV does not have a native camera, you can also connect a USB webcam. Through Google Duo on the big screen, users can relax on the couch while chatting with friends or family.

Google has started reorganizing the mess it had with messaging services. However, there is still a lot of work to be done. Google Duo and Google Meeting have been saved from the pyre. The latter is now mainly focused on the professional market. We’re hoping the Duo app has been optimized to work effectively on Android TV, and we’ll probably hear about its performance from users in the weeks to come.
