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.

Google Meet will be free until June 30: Here’s how to video call via Gmail

Google Meet users are in for a treat. The popular video-calling platform will now be available for free until June 30, as part of another extension by the company.

This will allow people to have unlimited calls with their family, friends, and even with people from work with convenience. Here are the details we have with us.

Free Google Meet until Summer 2021

As revealed by Google Workplaces’ Twitter handle, you will be able to use Gooogle Meet for unlimited calls (mainly up to 24 hours) all through summer this year. This can be done if you have a Gmail account.

This extension comes into force after Google extended the free Google Meet scheme until March 31, which is today. This was also an extension to the earlier deadline of September 2020. Google also removed the 60-minute limit on a video call when the free version was made available for Gmail account holders.

Since Google has been quite generous all this while, there are chances that the free availability might be further extended once we reach June 30. However, it’s just a guess and we are not sure if it will happen for real.

How to access Google Meet via Gmail?

Now that Google Meet’s free version is available for another three months, you should take advantage of it and try using the video-calling platform for as many calls as you want. You can do so by downloading the Google Meet app on your Android/iOS phone or heading to the website for the purpose.

However, there is another easy, ‘without any hassle’ way to conduct Google Meet calls. Just open Gmail. Here’s what you have to do:

Step 1: Open your Gmail. This can be done either on your Android or iOS device or via the web.

Step 2: On the Gmail app, there is a separate Meet icon, clicking on which you can start your voice or video calls. You just need to tap on it > Start a new meeting or join an existing one with a code you have > and you will be able to start a video call with ease.

Step 3: On Gmail for the web, you just need to head to the Meet section on the left-hand side, and select either of the two options available (New Meeting and Join a Meeting) to start a video call.

To recall, Google Meet allows you to add up to 100 participants on a single call, lets you share your screen, comes with the noise cancellation feature, ensures your privacy and security, and more.
