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 Watch launch reportedly delayed for unknown reasons

OnePlus was expected to introduce its first smartwatch this month. It was supposed to be launched along with the OnePlus 8T smartphone. But OnePlus 8T is here, and still there is no sign of the OnePlus Watch. So, where is it? According to a tipster, the company has indefinitely delayed the launch of its smartwatch in the market. And while the reasons for the delay are unclear, it is possible the brand is yet to find the right time to enter the wearables segment.

After launching OnePlus 8T, OnePlus has also released the new affordable Nord N10 and Nord N100 phones in the market. Fair to say the company is not keen on showcasing its smartwatch anytime soon.

The new development is hard to understand though. After all, the company itself confirmed the existence of OnePlus Watch. In fact, OnePlus shared a sketch of a watch and stated that “More things are coming to the OnePlus ecosystem. So, it’s not like OnePlus has backtracked on its promise for no reason. There must be one, just that we still don’t know what that is.

Rumours indicate that OnePlus could give us its next flagship a bit earlier than its usual schedule in 2021, and it is a possibility that OnePlus Watch may accompany OnePlus 9 series; however, there is no indication for that right now.

OnePlus Watch design and specifications (expected)

As per reports, the wearable will feature a round design. Given that company’s devices are closely based on Oppo and Vivo products, the smartwatch may borrow from the Oppo wearable. 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 device. The brand may also rely on Google’s Wear OS as the base operating system.
