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.

Poco M2 Reloaded India launch date announced: Expected specs, price and more

The Poco M2 from last year made headlines for being one of the most affordable phones to offer 6GB RAM. Now, Poco is bringing a mildly refreshed version of the same under the Poco M2 Reloaded moniker. It will be revealed on April 21 and will go on sale on Flipkart the same day at 3 pm. The social media teaser reveals no change in design from the 2020 model.

A listing on Flipkart reveals the only change with the Poco M2 Reloaded – a new RAM variant. The base variant of the phone will offer 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, unlike the older model’s 6GB RAM variant. Rest of the specifications and features remain unchanged. The presence of the MediaTek Helio G80 chip is confirmed as well.

Poco M2 Reloaded launching this week

With the arrival of a 4GB RAM variant, it seems that Poco could aim to lower the starting price. The current Poco M2 starts at Rs 10,499 and it is possible that the 4GB RAM variant could be cheaper by Rs 1,000 (at least). This will help Poco take on the newly launched Realme C25, which only comes with 4GB RAM for all its variants.

Redmi 9 Prime

The Poco M2 is based the Redmi 9 Prime

Hence, it seems that the Poco M2 Reloaded will essentially be a Redmi 9 Prime in new clothes. The only difference between the Redmi 9 Prime and Poco M2 was the difference in RAM capacity, which is now blurred by the Poco M2 Reloaded. The other features such as the 6.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD display, a quad rear camera setup, and a 5000mAh battery remain unchanged.

The rear camera setup consists of a 13-megapixel primary camera along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. This is adjoined by a 5-megapixel macro camera and a 2-megapixel depth camera. The front camera consists of an 8-megapixel sensor. There’s support for 18W fast charging and the phone also gets a water-repellant coating.

A few weeks ago, Poco announced the Poco X3 Pro in India as the company’s flagship offering. The Poco X3 Pro is based on the Poco X3 from 2020 and uses high-end specifications at reasonable prices. It is currently the only smartphone in India to feature the Snapdragon 860 chipset. Starting at a price of Rs 18,999, this makes the Poco X3 Pro the most powerful smartphone in its category.
