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.

Here’s how Google is celebrating the Ever Given ship getting free from Suez Canal

For the past couple of weeks, a ship stuck in the Suez Canal has been making headlines all over the world. Dubbed the Ever Given, the massive ship created a blockade in the narrow Suez Canal in Egypt which caused disruptions in marine traffic and also lost the shipping industry billions of dollars due to the delay.

It was yesterday that 400m ship was freed from the Suez Canal and developers at Google couldn’t hold back but to celebrate the occasion their own way with an easter egg.

The easter egg

A search for the ‘Suez Canal’ and ‘Ever Given’ brings up information about the whole incident including the latest news articles and more information about the topic. However, what catches the eye is the animated ship that rowing across the top of the page symbolic of a free ship.

The Suez Canal is one of the most pivotal sea routes in the world that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea allowing shipping from Europe to Asia. Because of the blockade, most of the ships passing through that route were stranded in the nearby seas or had to take the longer route from below the African continent.

It is estimated that about 12 percent of the world’s trade and a significant part of the world’s oil supply is routed through that canal. The 1,300-foot ship had blocked the canal for 6 days after it was successfully freed on Sunday.

Google is consistent with easter eggs on its search pages and even put one on Holi where you could splatter the entire web page with colours but clicking on it.
