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.

OnePlus set to launch a watch soon, company confirms: Check details

OnePlus has finally confirmed that it is working on a watch and that it will be launched soon. In the year 2016, OnePlus first hinted that it has plans to unveil its own watch and the product was also ready. But, the Chinese company didn’t bring the wearable to the market. It seems that we might finally see the OnePlus Watch launch in 2020.

The company itself has confirmed this news via its official twitter handle. OnePlus has shared a sketch of a watch and has even stated that “More things are coming to the OnePlus ecosystem. It’s just a matter of time.” In 2016, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei revealed sketches of the canceled wearable on Twitter. It seems that the brand has finalized one of the sketches as one of them match the image from the new Tweet.

The new tweet by OnePlus confirms that the wearable will feature a round design. The Chinese company hasn’t revealed much of the details, but it is likely to reveal more features and other details ahead of the official launch. Besides, Oppo recently launched its latest Watch in India and the price starts from Rs 14,990. Given that OnePlus devices are closely based on Oppo and Vivo products, the smartwatch may borrow from the Oppo wearable. Hence, it won’t be surprising to see the curved display edges and Google’s Wear OS platform running on the OnePlus Watch.

While not much is known about the wearable at the moment, OnePlus could use the same Snapdragon Wear 3100 as the Oppo Watch for SoC. On the other hand, the newer Snapdragon Wear 4100 chip could also debut on this one. OnePlus may also rely on Google’s Wear OS as the base operating system. However, we can expect a custom Oxygen OS-inspired skin on top with smoother animations and a minimalist UI.
