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. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...

Google testing search feature that will show short videos from TikTok, Instagram

Google is testing a new ‘Short videos’ feature that will aggregate short videos from Instagram and TikTok in a dedicated carousel on the Google mobile app. According to a TechCrunch report, the move will help the tech giant retain users who visit social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok in search of short videos.

A Google spokesperson confirmed to the website that the ‘Short video’ feature is being piloted on mobile devices, meaning the test is in its early stages and limited to a few users only.

“In other words, you won’t find the video carousel on every search query just yet. But over time, as Google scales the product, it could become an interesting tool for indexing and surfacing top video content from social media — unless, of course, the platforms choose to block Google from doing so,” as per the report.

Earlier this year, Google introduced the “Short videos” carousel within its Discover tab and the new ‘Short videos’ test expands on the previous feature. For those unaware, Google Discover lets users discover useful and relevant information from across the web, suited to their interests.

Google’s ‘Short videos’ feature was previously focussed on aggregating videos from Trell, and Google’s own Tangi and YouTube. However, the new test also includes TikTok and Instagram videos as well. This was first spotted by Search Engine Roundtable (via Brian Freiesleben’s tweet). The website posted a screenshot of the carousel that had two videos from TikTok and one from Instagram.

Google’s Tangi, which was launched earlier this year, is a short video platform that hosts short videos, mainly to help people learn creative skills like cooking, baking, painting, etc. Meanwhile, YouTube is also experimenting with the idea of short videos as it released an early beta of YouTube Shorts in India in September 2020. It lets users upload videos of 15 seconds or less.

Interestingly, clicking on one of the short videos takes users to the web version of the social media platform and not the app, even if the app is installed on the user’s device. Clearly, Google wants users to come back to its search results page after they’re done watching the video.
