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.

OnePlus Watch Always On Display could come in future update if users want

The OnePlus Watch is yet to go on sale and the community has already started suggesting improvements on the forums. In a recent discussion, OnePlus asked its community members whether the Always On Display feature should make it to the OnePlus Watch in the future. The company went on to justify why it did away with AOD option and how it could be implemented in a future update.

The OnePlus Watch skipped the Always On Display feature in favour of better battery life, suggested OnePlus. In its forums, the company has reiterated that focus for the development team was battery life and it avoided any feature that could reduce the total tally. OnePlus claims up to 14 days on battery life on a single charge, which is among the best in the business.

OnePlus Watch could get AOD in the future

“The one thing we unanimously seemed to agree upon is that having to charge our smartwatch daily really affected our experience. If we forgot to charge it overnight, a few minutes of charging before we head out just isn’t enough and the battery dies later in the day,” says OnePlus in the blog.

However, the company says that it is evaluating the possibility of adding the AOD option to the OnePlus Watch. It all depends on whether users vote in favour of it, or decide to do away with it; a poll is currently online on the OnePlus forums.

Most non-Wear OS smartwatches these days feature an AOD option and still manage to deliver up to two weeks of battery life. The Realme Watch S Pro and Mi Watch Revolve come with AOD options out-of-the-box. Both of these watches run in RTOS-based customer operating systems. Amazfit’s GTS 2 and GTR 2 also get the AOD option as standard.

Hence, it is only natural to for users to demand an AOD option on the OnePlus Watch, which happens to be more expensive than the Amazfit GTR 2 and Mi Watch Revolve. At Rs 14,999, the OnePlus Watch is in the same league as the Oppo Watch; the latter running on Google’s Wear OS platform.

We are yet to test the OnePlus Watch for ourselves. The wearable promises a lot on paper, especially with its 20-minute charge for a week’s battery life. OnePlus has also baked in several fitness tracking modes and allows users to take calls hands-free via an onboard speaker.
