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 new ‘last seen’ status feature now rolling out to iOS beta users

WhatsApp recently rolled out new privacy features for Android beta testers. Now, the messaging application is rolling out a new beta update with the option to selectively restrict the ‘last seen’ status, profile photo and About section for iPhone users. The new update is compatible with WhatsApp beta version 2.21.230.15 on iOS. However, some users may still not see the new features, despite the update. In that case, the company will roll out the features in the next beta update.

The new privacy feature provides the user with more control over their data. The feature was spotted by WABetaInfo, a website that tracks beta features on the messaging application. WhatsApp iOS beta testers will be able to select specific contacts to hide their ‘last seen’ status from them.

The report clarifies that even if the user puts this restriction on those who don’t have the feature, the excluded contact won’t be able to view the last seen status. On the other hand, you will not be able to view the last seen status of the same contact either. The exclusion works in a way similar to the privacy setting when a user sets the last seen to “Nobody”.

The ‘About’ section and ‘Profile Photo’ can also be set to hidden from the privacy settings of the application. WABetaInfo also shared screenshots of the new settings option.

WhatsApp is also working on a new ‘Communities’ feature that will be providing a setup similar to Discord, but on the messaging application. The ‘Communities’ feature will allow admins to have greater control, when compared to groups. Going by the screenshots shared by WABetaInfo, the feature will be differentiated from Groups with the help of squared icons, compared to round icons for the WhatsApp groups. The communications happening over these “Communities” have also been offered with end-to-end encryption.
