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.

Apple event tonight: What to expect, how to watch livestream

Apple is gearing up to host its third virtual event of the year tonight and this one is called ‘One More Thing’. At the event tonight the US-based tech giant is expected to launch new MacBook models based on its own silicon chip instead of Intel. To recollect, it is at the WWDC event earlier this year that CEO Tim Cook announced that the company will soon begin the transition to its in-house chips from Intel processors for MacBooks. Today’s Apple event could be the start of the new journey for the tech giant.

How to watch Apple event

Tonight the event will begin at 10am PST which is around 11:30am IST, an hour late from the usual Apple events. Similar to the previous virtual launch events this one too will be streamed live on YouTube, the Apple Events website as well as Apple TV app. The event will be streamed live straight from Apple Park.

What announcements to expect

This event is expected to be all about hardware announcements. As the name of the event ‘One More Thing’ suggests the tech giant will make announcements that it hasn’t spoken about or highlighted in the previous launch events. Apple so far this year has made announcements related to iPhones, iOS, iPads, Apple Watch among others but there have been no announcements related to MacBooks. Tonight’s event could be all about MacBooks bundled with its own silicon.

As far as the rumours and leaks are concerned the company will announce hardware based on its native ARM silicon. The tech giant is yet to reveal more details about the upcoming products so far.

Besides the upcoming refreshed MacBooks the tech giant is also rumoured to launch the long awaited AirTags which is in the works for a very long time now. It was at WWDC 2020 that the tech giant announced its plans to use its in-house ARM-based silicon for the upcoming Mac devices.

As per a report by Bloomberg, Apple is pushing the production of the latest 13-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models and also the 13-inch MacBook Air model. It is reported that the Macs with smaller screens are ahead in production and two of the models will be shown at tonight’s event. The report further suggests that the MacBook models will have no visible changes apart from the ARM based silicon chip that is likely to be based on the A14 Bionic chip that runs the latest iPhone 12 models.
