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.

MS Office Calibri font no more the default: Check out what is replacing it on Office 365

It wasn’t long ago when Microsoft chose Calibri as the new default font for MS Office. Calibri gave MS Office apps like Word, Powerpoint, and Excel a new lease of life. Microsoft, however, is done with Calibri and has officially announced the “end of relationship” with the font. In simple words, Microsoft is now deciding between five new fonts as the default font for Office 365 services.

In a social media post, Microsoft gave us a glimpse of the five new fonts coming to MS Office 365, one of which will be chose as the new default font. The list of new fonts includes Bierstadt, Grandview, Seaford, Skeena and Tenorite. The company is letting users choose from one of these fonts as a default one.

Calibri no more the default font

“To help us set a new direction, we’ve commissioned five original, custom fonts to eventually replace Calibri as the default. We’re excited to share these brand-new fonts with you today and would love your input. Head over to social and tell us your favorite,” the company said.

While Calibri will no more be the font you will see while opening a new Word or Excel document, it will still be available as part of a massive font list. Users will still be able to use Calibri in the same way they can use Times New Roman. Additionally, the five new fonts will be evaluated over the next few months and will also be added to the Office 365 ecosystem.

Microsoft had long relied on Times New Roman as the default font for Office apps until 2007. With MS Office 2007, the Calibri font was applied as the default option on all office apps. Microsoft is now changing the default font after 14 years.

On the other hand, Microsoft pulled the plug on Cortana for Android and iOS devices last month. The company did not mention any reason behind this but it is evident that Cortana wasn’t as popular as Google Assistant, Siri and Alexa on mobile devices. Cortana is currently available on Windows 10 devices only.
