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. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...
Apex Legends Season 11: Respawn confirms Ash to be the next legend in the ‘Escape’ season
Apex Legends Season 11 will be titled Escape and is expected to release soon as Season 10 is coming to an end. With the new season, players will get a new battle pass and a new Legend to advance the game. Respawn has already shared a glimpse of the upcoming season with a new “Stories from the Outlands” trailer.
Apex Legends Season 11 ‘Escape’: Ash from Titanfall to debut in the new season
While the trailer confirms Ash to be the next legend, it also reveals the back story of the new character. Neither EA nor Respawn showed her abilities, however, data-miner Garret suggests that Ash might have area-of-effect ability and phase shift portal jumping-like ability. Notably, the character was referred to during Loba’s “Broken Ghost” questline last year. Inverse notes that Ash was a sub-boss in Titanfall, and was at one time hired by the father of the Apex Games, Kuben Blisk. She was defeated on Typhon, leading her to be rebuilt by Vinson Dynamics, as explained by the publication.
The website shows off a new C.A.R. SMG which will join Volt, the R-99, the Prowler, etc in the SMG list. Respawn calls it to be a ‘flexible weapon.’ The creators haven’t explicitly mentioned a new BR map, but they did put a cryptic text that reads, “A Storm Is Brewing: No matter how beautiful it seems, every corner of the Outlands is a dangerous place. You’d be wise to remember that.” Reports predict that the new map might have Encore Arenas map’s unique tropical setting.
The site also contains information on Season 11 battle pass which will include the usual new skins, XP boosts, a new ranked season that will commence at the beginning of the new season.
Not too much is out in the wild on the new Apex season, but Respawn has added a huge parachute pod to the Gardens area on Olympus. Many speculate that finding Bangalore’s brother might open a doorway to the new tropical map. As mentioned before, the developers haven’t spit anything on the character’s abilities yet, but with the cyborg from Titanfall making a debut in the BR title, it is sure to entice players. Ash will be the 19th Legend to join the character roster. The entire trailer of Apex Legends Season 11 is due to release on October 21. The new season release is expected to drop on November 2, although Respawn is yet to confirm on that as well, so we recommend taking it with a pinch of salt for now.
