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.

Google Nest thermostat launched with new design at $129

Google has wide array of smart products in the market. And to sell them, it has the Nest division which has launched its new-look thermostat this week. Priced at $129 (Rs 9,417), the Nest Thermostat features a new design and comes with swipe and tap interface. But more importantly, the device gets the Soli radar chip which is able to identify the number of people in a room. But unlike its most crucial use case of hand-gesture support, Google is using the technology for motion sensing only.

Google claims the new Nest Thermostat is made from 49 percent recycled plastic. The device is designed to work in small rooms or condos. Which explains its smaller form factor and price range as well. It has intuitive features which allows users to get the room’s temperature set depending on the time of the day, or night. You can even schedule it, and keep it ready for the latter part of the day. And with the soli radar, the Nest Thermostat will lower the temperature when nobody is at home.

It would have made sense for Google to fully optimise the benefits of the soli radar technology. Having said that, it could be possible that future iterations of the Nest thermostat, or the expensive ones get it.
