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.

YouTube was down for hours globally, but the issue has now been fixed

Last night, YouTube was down for users globally. The reason for the outage is not known for now but what we do know is that the video platform is back on track and working perfectly fine now. According to some of the media reports, YouTube was down for over an hour. While the service was down, users across the globe took to other social media platforms to complain about the error they were facing while playing a video on the platform. Soon after, the hashtag #YouTubeDown started trending on Twitter.

The main issue that most users across the globe suffered was that during the time of outage they were unable to watch videos on YouTube. The platform showed an error that stated, “An error occurred. Please try again later.”

Nearly an hour after the service went down, YouTube acknowledged the issue and said that the team is working on the fix. The company tweeted via its @TeamYouTube account which noted, “If you’re having trouble watching videos on YouTube right now, you’re not alone – our team is aware of the issue and working on a fix. We’ll follow up here with any updates.”

The issue reportedly appeared to have also affected other services that use the YouTube infrastructure such as YouTube TV and movies and TV shows purchased through Google TV, formerly known as Google Play Movies & TV.

As per reports, the service bounced back at around 8:30PM ET and users were then able to play videos on YouTube.

In a tweet after the service resumed the company said, “..And we’re back – we’re so sorry for the interruption. This is fixed across all devices & YouTube services, thanks for being patient with us.”

During the outage, DownDetector showed hundreds and thousands of user complaints about the service being down and YouTube showing error.

This isn’t the first time that YouTube or Google’s services went down. Just a few months ago, almost the entire Google service was down for hours and that created issues for users around the world.
