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.

iPhone 13 latest leak reaffirms Android-like Always-On Display feature and more

The iPhone 13 is only a few months away from its official release but leaks had long spoilt the surprise. We already know that the iPhone 13 will retain its flat design but lose a bit of the fat around the display notch, get better ultra-wide cameras, and bring high refresh rate displays to the Pro models. A recent leak now reaffirms the latter along with a couple of the known features for the iPhone 13.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has shared some believable leaks related to the iPhone in the past and he has shared some more in his latest newsletter. He says that Apple will indeed bring the Always On Display function to the 2021 iPhone, also known so far as the iPhone 13. This will be made possible with Apple’s reliance on the LTPO display technology.

iPhones to get AOD, smaller notch and more

The LTPO display has been in use in a couple of 2021 high-end Android phones from Samsung, OnePlus and others. This display tech allows altering the refresh rate, which in turn makes for better battery-saving measures. Apple already uses this tech on its Apple Watch Series 6 for the Always On function.

Along with the AOD, the new 2021 iPhone/ iPhone 13 is also supposed to lose fat from its massive display notch, reaffirms Gurman. The video recording capabilities will improve as well and battery life could see a boost too. And of course, there’s the case for Apples A15 chip that will debut on the next gen iPhone.’

Most of these upgrades are, however, expected to be reserved for the Pro variant. Previous reports have suggested that it is only the Pro variants that will get the LTPO display tech along with the improved cameras. The smaller notch is expected to come on all the models, including the iPhone 13 Mini. The bigger battery could be reserved for the Max variant.

2021 is also said to be the last year for the Mini variant of the iPhone. Introduced originally in 2020 with the iPhone 12 series, the compact version reportedly suffered with regards to sales. Hence, Apple has apparently planned to axe the Mini version from 2023.
