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.

iPhone 14’s selfie camera costs 3x more than iPhone 13, more features incoming

Apple iPhones offer a great camera system on the rear. With the Optical Image Stabilization and other software features, the rear camera of the iPhones has been improving year on year. While the rear camera has been improving quickly, Apple has been slow to upgrade its front camera. Today, on the company’s latest iPhone, we see a 12MP selfie camera, however, it misses out on a lot of features. But now, Apple appears to focus on its selfie camera just as much as it does on the rear camera.

Apple iPhone 14 will have LG’s Innotek-made selfie camera

The news comes from South Korea, where Apple has reportedly boarded LG’s Innotek company for manufacturing its selfie cameras. The South Korean brand has been making rear cameras for Apple, while the front cameras were made by an unknown Chinese manufacturer and Japan’s Sharp.

Now due to several quality problems, Apple has said LG’s Innotek to make selfie cameras for its upcoming iPhone 14. This will be the first time in history that a South Korean brand is making Apple’s selfie snappers. Also, originally, the decision to board Innotek was for the next year’s iPhone 15. However, the aforesaid quality problems appear to be unavoidable, and owing to it, we’ll now see iPhone 14 series with Innotek’s cameras.

It is worth noting that Japan’s Sharp will continue to make iPhone selfie cameras. Only, the unknown Chinese maker is out of the game. Also, since Apple is turning into a Korean maker, the price of making a selfie camera has raised three times. Earlier, when Chinese makers were on board, the selfie camera production would just take one-third the price of the rear camera.

Interestingly, with the new selfie camera maker on board, we will see AutoFocus on the front camera. Features like Optical Image Stabilization could also arrive on the front lens. While the features seem enticing, do take the information with a grain of salt as Apple is yet to confirm them.
