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.

Google is combining Meet, Duo in a single app: What this means for you

Google is making changes to its messaging platforms once again. After making changes to Meet, Chat and Hangouts over the years, Google is now planning to merge Google Meet and Google Duo into a single platform. While the former is used as more of a video conferencing solution by professionals, latter is used for one-on-one calls by customers. Now, Google is combining these two in a single app.

As a part of the changes, Google is updating its Duo app to include all of Google Meet‘s features. “This integrated experience will provide users with a single solution for both video calling and meetings with people across their lives,” Javier Soltero Vice President and General Manager, Google Workspace, wrote in a blog post.

But things are not as simple as they seem.

In the same blog post, the Google executive said that later this year, the company will rename the Duo app to Google Meet, which will act as its single video communications service across Google and will be available to everyone at no-cost. To put it simply, Google will bring all of Meet’s capabilities to Duo and then rename Duo to Meet.

Here’s a piece of good news for Duo users. While Google will migrate all of Meet’s features to Duo, Duo’s DNA will live on in the app that will later be renamed to Meet. In the blog post, the Google executive said that the existing video calling features from Duo will stay within the app, including the ability to make video calls to friends and family by phone number or email address, use fun filters and effects, send messages, and ask Google Assistant to call using existing devices. “All conversation history, contacts, and messages will continue to be saved in the app and there will be no new app to download,” he added.

Additional Meet features coming to Google Duo are:

— Customise virtual backgrounds in calls and meetings.

— Schedule meetings so everyone can join at a time that’s convenient for them.

— Use in-meeting chat for deeper engagement.

— Live share content to enable interaction with all participants on the call.

— Get real-time closed captions to better support accessibility and boost participation.

— Increase size of video calls from a current limit of 32 to 100 participants.

— Integrate with other tools, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Assistant, and Messages among others.
