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.

OnePlus is to Oppo now what Huawei P series flagships are to Huawei

The integration between Oppo and OnePlus is official and that may have spelt bad news for die-hard OnePlus fans. While we are yet to see what lies for OnePlus in the future, information from China suggests that Oppo is revamping its high-end smartphone lineup with this buyout. With OnePlus now part of Oppo, the latter is treating it more like a conventional high-end lineup going forward.

In plain English, that means that OnePlus is to Oppo what Samsung’s Galaxy S series phones are to Samsung. Or, what Huawei’s P series smartphones are to Huawei. A known tipster suggests that Oppo will now focus its Find series smartphones in a similar fashion to Huawei’s Mate series experimental devices, or Samsung’s Galaxy Z series devices.

OnePlus now a high-end Oppo flagship series

The leak, first spotted by GizmoChina, suggests that OnePlus flagships will be treated as a Oppo high-end product lineup. That means OnePlus phones will continue to offer the tried and tested features from Oppo’s arsenal. The Oppo Find X series will debut new technologies and concepts for the market.

Oppo Find X2 Pro

While this hasn’t come from the official sources, the segmentation is certainly evident with this year’s lineup. The OnePlus 9 Pro is essentially a watered-down version of the Oppo Find X3 Pro sans the fancy cameras. Oppo’s flagship debuted a unique microscopic camera that’s unseen in any other smartphone so far.

Additionally, Oppo’s Rollable Concept also falls under the X series lineup. Going forward, Oppo could reserve the Find X series for more of such rollable and folding devices. This is more in line with the Samsung Galaxy Z series, which Samsung reserves for its foldables. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 are expected to be fine examples of the same.

However, it does contradict the official announcements. OnePlus clarified that it will continue to operate as a separate company and will continue to develop the OxygenOS experience. The integration will lead to OxygenOS and ColorOS sharing a common code base, which means both these platforms could share more features in the coming months.

The first signs of this integration are expected to be seen with the upcoming Android 12 skin on OnePlus and Oppo devices. OnePlus has talked about integrating a Theme Store in OxygenOS, which can now be ported from the ColorOS Android skin.
