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.

Apple Watch can soon measure blood pressure, blood glucose and alcohol level: Report

A new report shows interesting revelations about future Apple Watch. The current edition of the Apple Watch comes with some health features such as Oxygen monitoring (SpO2) and heart tracking. The latest report now suggests more health features such as blood pressure, blood glucose and alcohol level could come to future Apple Watch.

To recall, a patent that was filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in February 2021 showed that Apple might be working on blood sugar readings, which means it could bring glucose level monitoring on Apple Watch in the future.

Apple Watch to get more health features

The patent titled “Terahertz Spectroscopy and Imaging In Dynamic Environments With Performance Enhancements using Ambient Sensors” has now got some credibility as UK health tech company Rockley Photonics confirmed that Apple has been its largest customer over the past two years. Rockley Photonics’ focus has been on tracking blood glucose levels.

Reports coming from The Telegraph and Forbes suggests that Rockley Photonics has confirmed that Apple is its biggest customer in a recent SEC filing. This suggests that the tech giant is working to bring glucose level monitoring support to future Apple devices, most likely Apple Watch.

Apple Watch COVID-19

We all know that Apple has already added heart-rate monitor and SpO2 monitor support in its watches. Existing Apple Watch 3, Apple Watch 6, among others come with heart-rate monitor and SpO2 monitor.

In addition to blood glucose, Rockley also focuses on tracking blood pressure and alcohol levels. It further suggests that we could see these health options come to future Apple Watches. However, this should be taken with a pinch of salt given the Cupertino tech giant hasn’t revealed any details related to the same.
