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 F1 global variant getting MIUI 12 update

Xiaomi introduced the Poco sub-brand few years back. And we got the Poco F1 in 2018. This phone offered features similar to Xiaomi phones but with the strong exception of an ad-free experience. The F1 was a big success for the brand and it has continued to receive software updates even two years after its launch. And now, Poco F1 users across the globe will be able to experience the latest MIUI 12 version on their phones.

According to this report, the stable update of MIUI 12 running over Android 10 is available. The update is rolling out with the version number V12.0.1.0.QEJMIXM and available to select set of users right now. As you might recall, Poco F1 was listed as one of the eligible devices to get MIUI 12 update. So, we’re pleased to see Poco fulfill its promise earlier than expected. The F1 launched with MIUI 9 version built over Android 8.0 Oreo. And it’s very rare to see phone makers offer latest updates for 2-year old products.

The update for Poco F1 comes bundled with the August 2020 Android security patch. And we’re hoping the phone will gradually get its timely updates from now on. Having said that, Poco F1 will probably be aware that MIUI 12 is likely to the last update for their device. And for what it’s worth, that’s a decent return for a mid-range phone.

Poco F1 specification

To recap, the F1 from Poco features a 6.18-inch FHD+ display with 500 nits peak brightness. Under the hood is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC. The phone comes loaded with a 4,000mAh battery with support for Quick Charge 3.0. There is up to 256GB storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card.
