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.

Now you can unlock your hotel room using your iPhone or Apple Watch

Apple is making it easy for iPhone and Apple Watch users to unlock their hotel rooms, but there’s a catch. To start with, the Cupertino-based tech giant has partnered with Hyatt to bring its room unlock feature. It is available only in select locations for the time being.

As per media reports, around six Hyatt locations will now let users store keycards on iPhone or Apple Watch. These locations include — Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, Hyatt Centric Key West Resort and Spa, Hyatt House Chicago/West Loop-Fulton Market, Hyatt House Dallas/Richardson, Hyatt Place Fremont/Silicon Valley, and Hyatt Regency Long Beach.

The feature will allow users to add the hotel room keycard to Apple Wallet any time after the check-in has been done. However, after the reservation, you will need to check-in at the desk for the digital keycard to get activated. Once the activation has been done, users will be able to use it with Express mode, which means they will no longer need to verify their identity using Face ID or Touch ID every time they unlock the room.

This will help users to avoid the hassle to reach out to the front desk every time. For instance, if you change your room or extend your stay, your digital card will be automatically updated without you needing to go to the front desk.

Currently, Apple has partnered only with Hyatt at six locations for its Wallet app. Media reports suggest that the feature will eventually be available at all Hyatt hotels globally, we assume it includes India as well.

In addition, Apple has plans to soon allow users to add their driver’s license and state ID to the Wallet app. This will make it easier and simpler for users to commute on a day-to-day basis. It is said that the US-based tech giant is targeting early 2022 for a US launch of this feature and eventually we expect it to be available globally.
