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.

Xbox Series S game installation space revealed: You may need to buy storage expansion

Microsoft unveiled the Xbox Series S and Series X earlier this year, and both of them have drawn a lot of attention. The Series S is the most affordable model starting in India at a price of Rs 34,999. That seems like a bargain, given that the Series S offers ray-tracing, 1440p gaming, as well as up to 120 fps gameplay experience. The only odd part in the package was the 512GB storage and that may seem not enough for gamers.

A Reddit user recently received the Xbox Series S and upon examination, has found that the console only offers a total of 364GB space for installing games. Those who play a lot of the modern titles know that games these days take up a lot of storage space. Grand Theft Auto 5 takes up to 65GB whereas Red Dead Redemption 2 takes up to 116GB. Hence, installing 4-5 titles alone will take up the entire onboard space.

While the Series S only offers 364Gb space, the more expensive Series X only offers a total space of 802GB out of the 1TB total space. Hence, the memory reserved on the Series S accounts for 30 percent whereas, on the Series X, it accounts for 20 percent.

However, Series S buyers shouldn’t worry that much about the storage space. Microsoft says the Series S games will take 30 percent lesser pace than the Series X titles. This is because the Series S maxes out at a lower 1440p and hence, the textures needn’t be that higher in resolution. Additionally, developers can let gamers remove parts of the game that players don’t need to save on storage.

If Series S buyers need more storage, Microsoft allows storage expansion via external cards. Seagate will be making the official storage card for expansion, with a capacity of holding 1TB of data. The card will be compatible with both the Series S and Series X consoles. Do note that the expansion card costs $220 but is as fast as the onboard SSD.

The Xbox Series S and Series X will go on sale in India from November 10. Both these consoles will compete with the Sony PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition. On paper, the Xbox consoles offer more performance than the PS5 consoles.
