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.

Players won’t be able to play BGMI on their Android phone, here’s why

Battlegrounds Mobile India aka BGMI’s developer Krafton in a post this August cited about shutting down data transfer with Facebook accounts. While changes were due to happen in October it was later postponed to November 5. To put things in perspective, users who have been playing the game through a Facebook login won’t be able to run BGMI on their mobile from this week.

As per the developers, the change is due to a policy update in the Facebook SDK and it will only impact Android users. To recall, the developers allowed players to carry forward their data from PUBG Mobile to Battlegrounds Mobile India following the BR title’s debut in India. However, the data transfer process was closed in September for the Facebook policy update. The new policy update reiterates the same with Facebook software development kit (SDK) that disables logins with Facebook accounts ‘through the embedded browser in Android devices.’

How will BGMI Facebook login disable impact users?

Krafton in its post said that logins with Facebook accounts will be disabled starting November 5. BGMI notes that logins with Facebook accounts in the embedded browser of Android devices will be disabled. Players will need to have the Facebook app installed on their smartphone to be able to play the game by logging via their Facebook account.

“After November 5th, logins will be disabled unless the Facebook App is installed on your device; we apologize for the inconvenience, but please install the Facebook App to use the game,” Krafton cites in the blog post.

On failure to meet the conditions, or if you don’t want to install the Facebook app, they might lose all the data given creating a new account will require players to start afresh.

While the changes will come into effect within two days, gamers are advised to download the app to save their progress and play the game without any interruption. As mentioned, the changes are impacting only the Android users, iOS users won’t be facing any such issue.

On a related note, the BGMI update recently brought the much-awaited Payload 2.0, Virus Infection game modes. While the former brings armoured cars, helicopters with ‘Super Weapons,’ the latter require players to fight with zombies. Payload 2.0 mode will be available in the EvoGround tab. Krafton recently released Diwali in-game events to celebrate the special occasion in the country.
