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.

Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro are really happening and Google just teased them

In the past few months, we saw a number of leaks and rumours regarding this year’s Pixel phones. Google decided to put a few of our speculations to rest and as a result, it has officially teased the Pixel 6 series. The series will consist of the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro, as rumoured previously and will sport a design that was expected too.

The cherry on the cake is Google’s in-house chip for the devices. The company has confirmed that the Google Tensor will power these phones. It also revealed a number of details and if you are intrigued, keep on reading.

Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro now official

Google, via a tweet thread, posted a number of details of the Pixel 6 phones. This includes its design, which this time, feels refreshing. As rumoured previously, the Pixel 6 and the 6 Pro will come with a big rear camera hump, placed horizontally in the top portion. This is something we have seen on the Mi 11 Ultra and even the Poco M3, except the one on the Pixel 6 phones is narrower.

There will be new colourways, and interesting, the phones will follow the concept of colour blocking. Upfront, the phones will house a centre-placed punch-hole, as opposed to the corner punch-hole seen on Pixels up until now. While the Pro model features a polished aluminium finish, the vanilla model gets a matte aluminium finish.

The devices will be powered by the Tensor chip, which was rumoured to be codenamed Whitechapel. Keeping AI and machine learning as its core, the chip is expected to deliver improved performance in cameras and speech recognition, along with more features.

It will also focus on security with the help of the Titan M2 chip. The Pixel 6 phones are said to have “the most layers of hardware security in any phone.” It remains to be seen how Google works in this area.

The smartphones will also come with the Material You design that was announced along with Android 12 at this year’s Google I/O. Material You will use complex colour science clubbed with an interactive design. The UI will pick colours from the wallpapers and apply them across the UI for a customised experience.

Other details regarding the Pixel 6 remain unknown. However, a report by The Verge suggests that the Pixel 6 could get a 6.4-inch Full HD+ 90Hz screen, while the 6 Pro could come with a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz display. Both phones will see major camera improvements, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and more.

The Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro will launch this fall.
