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’s player will now show the ‘most replayed’ parts of a video to save your time

YouTube will now let you skip the boring parts of a video and show the “most played” parts instead. The Google-owned video streaming platform will show a graph that will allow viewers to identify the popular parts of the video that they are watching. This can be quite helpful for longer videos or videos that do not have a timestamp or a video chapter. This update in the video player is applicable to both the web player and the mobile app.

YouTube to show video highlights

According to YouTube, viewers will be able to interpret the graph easily by using the red playback progress bar. As per the official statement, “If the graph is high, then that part of the video has been replayed often. You can use the graph to quickly find and watch those moments.” The thumbnail that appears at the high point in a graph will also show the “most replayed” segment with a tag.

YouTube was testing this video highlights feature for the premium members only but starting today, it is now available for all YouTube users including free and premium users across Android and iOS.

The company has also hinted that it will soon let users see the exact point in a video that they want to play. It will show a visual timeline that will show a scene change. Right now, all we see is a thumbnail for a given point when we hover our cursor over it.

For the unversed, the streaming platform is also rolling out video chapters for smart TVs and gaming consoles. This feature allows users to jump right to the concerned section of a video or rewatch the old one. These video chapters are auto-generated. Additionally, YouTube updated its video player UI recently, which makes it easier to like videos and even view comments and share them with others.
