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.

WhatsApp multi-device support: iOS beta gets ‘Log out’ feature

WhatsApp is working on a multi-device feature where users will be able to connect up to four devices to their main WhatsApp account. Now, WhatsApp for iOS has submitted a new beta via the Testflight Beta program that brings the ‘Log out’ feature. According to WABetaInfo, which also posted a preview video of how the feature works, Log out will allow users to log out from a WhatsApp account from a linked device.

The Log out feature is available in the  2.21.30.16 beta update for iOS. Keep in mind that the feature is under development as of now and not available for the public. However, it may be rolled out in the future. Of course, Android users are also expected to get the feature as well. Notably, the multi-device support for WhatsApp itself is yet to launch officially.

WhatsApp Log out feature: How it works

The new Log out option will be present in the Account tab in Settings. As of now, it replaces the existing ‘Delete My Account’ option, but it is likely that WhatsApp will move the Log out option in the ‘Linked Devices’ in the final build, according to the report. The Log out option will essentially allow users to unlink their device from the main WhatsApp account.

WhatsApp is working on two kinds of multi-device features, one that will allow users to use WhatsApp Web without needing their main device to be connected to the internet, and another where users will be able to connect up to four devices to their main WhatsApp account. The latter option also does not require the main device to have an active internet connection. The limit to add the number of devices could change as well, though there is no confirmation.

WhatsApp’s multi-device will make it easier for people to stay logged in on the Web version of the service even when the main device does not have an active internet connection. The messaging service is also working on audio and video calling for WhatsApp Web, which is expected to launch this year. This was confirmed by the parent company Facebook.
