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.

Samsung Galaxy S21 to sell without charger and earphones, like the iPhone 12

Since the launch of the iPhone 12 series, Apple has received criticism for not including a wall charger or earphones in the sales package of its latest phones. There have also been rumours that Samsung would do the same. Now, SamMobile reports that the upcoming Galaxy S21 series will indeed be released without a charger in the box, just like the iPhone 12 lineup.

Samsung may not include an adapter like Apple

It is not certain what is the reason for Samsung doing this. But if you look at Apple’s reasons, it’s likely that Samsung will also highlight the environmental benefits of doing so. Several South Korean media have also mentioned that chargers and earphones will not be available for all variants of the Galaxy S21 series. Several other reports also said that only earphones will not be available in the sales box.

This news is quite surprising considering that some time ago Samsung had insinuated Apple through their personal social media regarding the availability of chargers in the sales box. If you look back, Samsung has actually quipped Apple several times and finally followed the same steps as its rivals. For example, when mocking the use of the notch and removing the 3.5mm audio jack.

If this rumor really takes shape, then Samsung is likely to be more incessant in offering the 45W charger, which previously had been sold separately. By offering fast charging, this charger model is expected to be more salable in the market.

One other thing that is also questioning is whether the price of the Samsung Galaxy S21 will be cheaper because it does not include a number of mandatory accessories in it. When referring to the iPhone 12, the latest iPhone series is still sold at a price comparable to the previous series, which came with a charger and earphones.
