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.

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked confirmed for August 11: Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, more expected
Samsung has officially announced that it will be holding its next Unpacked launch event on August 11 at 7:30 PM IST. At the event, the company is expected to launch its Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 foldable smartphones. The company in its invite event featured an outline for both the phones, and the event is being called Galaxy Unpacked: Get ready to unfold.
Apart from the two foldables, the company is expected to launch its new Galaxy smartwatches along with the new unified Wear platform developed in collaboration with Google.
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked: When and where to watch?
Samsung will be holding the Galaxy Unpacked: Get ready to unfold event virtually with no in-person audience due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The event will kick off on August 11 at 7:30 PM IST and will be streamed live via YouTube and the company’s official website.
As usual, at the beginning of the event, Samsung will post all of the details of the upcoming devices without the pricing details on its Newsroom website.
Samsung has also announced that customers can reserve “its next flagship” before the launch and get an increased trade-in credit and 12 months of Samsung Care+ at a discounted rate.
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked: Get ready to unfold: What to expect?
According to an earlier leak by Evan Blass, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 looks very similar to the current-gen Galaxy Z Fold 2, with the major change being S-Pen compatibility.
Galaxy Z Flip 3 leaks have showcased that the device will be getting a major overhaul with a larger display on the outside and many design changes.
Another major highlight of the event would be the introduction of the new Galaxy smartwatches. These will be the first smartwatches that the smartphone giant has developed to run Google’s Wear OS, shifting from the Tizen OS. These will also be the first to showcase the new Wear OS developed by Samsung and Google, which was initially announced at Google’s I/O 2021 developers conference. We expect the company to launch both the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 4 at the event.
The company might even launch a new pair of TWS earphones or some other product at the event.
