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.

YouTube is letting you leave emoji reactions at specific moments in a video

As of now, viewers can react to a YouTube video via a like, or a dislike. Alternatively, they can leave a comment on a video. Now, YouTube is testing a new way to enable users to react to videos. The company has started testing a feature called timed emojis that will enable viewers to react with an emoji at a specific instant in a video.

At the moment, YouTube is offering a set of eight reaction emojis to viewers to choose from. The list includes a face with tears of joy, heart, shock face, confetti or celebration, 100%, question mark, light bulb or idea, and a screaming cat. The company said that it will add or remove reaction emojis based on how the experiment goes.

“If you’re watching a video that is part of this experiment, you can react and see crowd reactions by opening the comment section of the video and tapping into the reaction panel,” a YouTube community manager wrote in a support page.
YouTube also said that as a part of the test, views will also be able to see which moments other viewers are reacting to. Additionally, the company will anonymise all the reactions, which means that YouTube will not show who sent each reaction on the platform.

As far as the availability is concerned, YouTube said that it is piloting the timed reactions experiment with a small number of channels to start. But there is no word on when this feature will be more widely available on the platform.

Notably, YouTube is testing this feature on the heels of another feature called timed comments. YouTube first started testing this feature in April last year and it enables users to leave comments at specific moments in a video, much like the timed emojis feature that the company is testing right now. “This experiment is available on some videos to a small group of people and we’ll consider rolling this out more broadly based on feedback,” YouTube had said at the time. However, the video sharing platform hasn’t rolled out this feature to a wider audience yet.
