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.

Vivo X70 series to launch in India in September with IPL as partner

Vivo has amped up its game in the premium smartphone space with the X60 series devices and it seems it wants to keep the momentum going.  A new leak now suggests that Vivo is planning to launch the X70 series later this year. In fact, the new phones will launch in September in partnership with the IPL 2021 tournament. No details on the X70 specs have leaked yet.

The Vivo X60 series was announced in March this year for India while global markets got the phone a few months ago. The X60 series first debuted in China last year with a different processor under the hood. The Indian model swapped the Exynos chip in favour of a Snapdragon 870 for the X60 and X60 Pro. Vivo is yet to reveal details on the X70 series.

Vivo X70 coming soon

The information comes as a leak, courtesy of a report from Gizmochina that suggests the launch will be done in partnership with the IPL 2021 tournament. The IPL 2021 has been rescheduled to take place later in the year and Vivo is the title sponsor. Hence, it all makes sense for the company to launch it at the same time.

The leak also mentions that the X70 series won’t be that different from the X60 series in terms of features and specifications. Hence, it is possible that Vivo could simply bring the X60t series that launched in China exclusively. With a new trend of putting Dimensity 1100 and Dimensity 12000 chips in new flagships, Vivo could end up doing the same for the X70 and X70 Pro.

What remains to be seen is whether the prices of these phones change in accordance with the competition. At the moment, the X60 series is among the more expensive phones in their individual category. The X60 Pro with its Snapdragon 870 chip sells at a price of Rs 49,990, which is well into the Snapdragon 888 territory. In fact, phones like the iQOO 7 Legend and Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro are Rs 10,000 cheaper and still offer the Snapdragon 888.

That said, the Vivo X60 Pro’s advantage comes in the form of great camera with ZEISS lenses and a curved edge display – features that re getting rare in the premium smartphone space these days.
