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. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...

iPhone 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max to get Samsung-made 120Hz displays

Apple has been in the news for its 2021 iPhone iteration for a long time, long enough to generate a lot of anticipation. Fueling the same, we have new information at our disposal that strongly hint at the presence of high refresh rates, something that is expected for a while now.

The iPhone 13 with a high refresh rate is expected to be made possible by Samsung. Read on to know more about this.

iPhone 13 Pro phones to get 120Hz display

It is suggested that Samsung will be the one that will supply the rigid-flexible printed circuit boards (RFPCB) to Apple for its upcoming iPhone 13 phones.

For those who don’t know, RFPCB is the component that binds the OLED display panel with the mainboard. This, in turn, will make room for the 120Hz refresh rate for the iPhone 13.

Support for a 120Hz display will be extended to the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. This is another thing that has been making rounds in the rumour mill for quite some time. The other two models (iPhone 13, 13 Mini) will stick to a 60Hz display that will use multiplex FPCB.

Since Samsung already is a key OLED panel supplier, it makes sense for the Cupertino tech major to source the RFPCB from Samsung Electro-Mechanics. Korean firms Bhflex and Youngpoong Electronics are expected to be contributors too.

Furthermore, the iPhone 13 Pro models are expected to come with LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) display tech for an adaptive refresh rate and lower power consumption on the display’s part.

iPhone 13 rumour roundup

Apart from this, the iPhone 13 series is expected to come with the A15 Bionic chip and run the upcoming iOS 15. All devices are expected to come with a smaller notch, bigger batteries, improved cameras, and support for 5G (much like the iPhone 12 lineup).

While the devices will come with the same flat edges seen on the current iPhones, there could be a slight change in the appearance of the rear camera module.

The iPhone 13 series is expected to launch in September, which is still a few months away. We are most likely to get more details on the phones before they hit the stage, hence, stay tuned for further information.
