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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to get quarterly security updates now

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 users last got their Android version upgrade in 2019. Most of you might know the phone is no longer eligible for anymore Android update. Having said that, the phone will continue to get security updates from the company. But unlike most Samsung phones, the Galaxy Note 8 will now start getting updates after every quarter, instead of the month.

This change was pointed out by Sammobile in this report this week. The company is doing this so that it can accommodate newer devices to the updated lineup. And since the Galaxy Note 8 (launched with Android 7), was last updated to Android 9 Pie. Samsung will now start prioritizing the devices launched more recently. This isn’t the first time when update cycles are changed for old devices by the brand.

Earlier this year, Samsung also pushed the Galaxy S8 series for quarterly security updates. So, in case the users are not comfortable with this arrangement, they are free to upgrade to the newer models. Or they can switch to other brands. The Galaxy Note 8 was a big success for the brand, especially after the debacle that was the Galaxy Note 7. But it’s unlikely that people will complain about this change, especially when they were promised two Android upgrade cycles.
