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 F3 GT launching in India after July, Dimensity 1200 chip confirmed

The successor to the legendary Poco F1 is confirmed for India. Poco has taken to social media to confirm the Poco F3 GT as its most performance-oriented smartphone offering. The design and specs are yet to be revealed, except for the fact that it will rely on the Dimensity 1200 chip. In addition to that, the Poco F3 GT also has a confirmed launch period – after July 2021.

Based on the teasers, the phone is expected to be based on the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition that launched in China earlier this year. The phone appears to have the same ring LED lights around the main rear cameras as the Redmi version. Hence, you can also expect the pop-out shoulder triggers on the phone along with the aggressive design.

Poco F3 GT launching in India soon

The Poco F3 GT is expected to be based on the Redmi K40 Gaming edition and the clues are already there Apart from the LED ring lights, the phone is also getting the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chip from the Redmi counterpart. The Dimensity 1200 is making its debut on the Realme X7 Max that’s launching in India on May 31.

From the view of raw performance, the Dimensity 1200 is as powerful as the Snapdragon 870 chip and also supports two 5G SIM cards simultaneously. The use of this chip also makes it possible for a lower sub-Rs 30,000 pricing once it launches.

Other exciting features of the Poco F3 GT include a 120Gz AMOLED display with a touch sampling rate of 480Hz. The phone relies on a 5000mAh battery and uses a 67W fast charging solution. The cameras consist of a 64-megapixel main camera along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The phone also features JBL-tuned speakers.

What remains to be seen is how Poco prices this phone. Traditionally, gaming smartphones have been priced upwards of Rs 40,000. Last year’s Asus ROG Phone 3 is still selling at a premium despite the ROG Phone 5 launching here. Given Poco’s lower-than-usual pricing, there’s a possibility that the Poco F3 GT could be priced almost as much as the Xiaomi Mi 11X. The upcoming Realme X7 Max is also expected to cost the same.
