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.

WhatsApp may soon ditch the annoying compressed video format on Android

WhatsApp is no doubt one of the most useful and popular messaging apps among users, but the cross-messaging platform has a few caveats. One of them being sending videos in compressed format. While messaging apps with RCS capabilities allow sending high-quality media, WhatsApp seems to have decided to follow the route. Simply to say WhatsApp users might soon be able to send high-res videos to their contacts in the app.

As spotted by WhatsApp tracker, WABetaInfo, WhatsApp beta v2.21.14.6 on Android suggests that will bring the ability to switch the default quality when sending videos. At the moment, the ‘Storage and data’ menu in WhatsApp doesn’t allow customising video preferences. But if one is to consider the screenshots, the issue might get fixed soon. As revealed by the outlet, the latest beta version shows three options that a user can choose from- “Auto”, “Best quality”, and “Data saver”.

The “Auto” option comes as the recommended choice and seems to automatically send a compressed format of the video over slow data connections. Meanwhile, the second option “Best Quality,” will allow users to send the video in its high-res format which users usually end sending in the attached document format. Android Police notes that with this option users might be able to send a video through the app’s gallery, without a drop in its quality, even if it takes longer to send as compared to the other two options. The last option “Data saver” is said to be ideal for those who want to send videos without losing up monthly data cap.

While WABetaInfo managed to get a hands-on this upcoming feature, there is no definite timeline as to when it will arrive on the stable version of WhatsApp. But given its under development, the Facebook-owned company might provide ‘some level of public access’ for feedback.

On a related note, WhatsApp is also said to be working on real-time waveforms for voice messages on Android. The waveforms will likely appear while playing the voice notes. In addition, the messaging app is also said to add the ability to forward in-app sticker packs on the Android platform. Notably, the feature is already available on iOS.
