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.

Apple’s mixed reality headset will have content created by Hollywood directors

If you were getting excited about Apple’s Mixed reality headset, there’s good news for you. Apple is reportedly teaming up with Hollywood directors to offer a surreal experience with its forthcoming AR/VR headset. One of such directors involved here is Jon Favreau who’s been a director of popular Hollywood movies such as The Jungle Book, The Lion King, and initial Iron Man movies.

Get Ready for some Hollywood-level content on Apple’s mixed reality headset

Favreau is reportedly working on delivering a mixed reality experience based on the Prehistoric Planet series on Apple TV. In case you are unaware, this series is all about the dinosaurs and the habitats of the ancient Earth. Having said that, expect a Jurassic Park-like experience on the Apple headset.

Although this piece of news excites us for the headset’s release, don’t get heated up and wait for the WWDC 2022 event. As Apple may not launch the mixed reality headset at the June 6 WWDC event. In fact, several rumors have pointed out that the release is pushed further to 2023. It’s majorly because of the technical issues that have been bugging Apple and its team behind the headset. Some employees have even left the company because of certain implications.

While the launch may be next year, Apple is still expected to give us some tidbits about the mixed reality headset. These will be in the form of some software cues for developers. As sources suggest, Apple will be introducing a toolkit, where developers can add camera and voice functionality to their apps, which will allow for a hands-free experience with Apple’s headset. So, if not a launch, at least some hints about its software features could be seen at the WWDC.

Coming to the headset’s specifications, Apple is yet to spill beans on the device. However, the AR/VR headset is expected to use the finest tech in the industry. Highly sensitive 3D modules for hand tracking, multiple camera modules for eye-tracking, and two processors of the level of Apple’s M1 chipset, which currently powers the MacBook and iMac models, are expected to be used in the mixed reality headset.

The mixed reality headset is expected to support a 4K OLED microdisplay from Sony. It will also be focused and optimized for games, eventually rivaling the Oculus Quest.
