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.

BGMI unban hinted by Krafton? Here is what happened

Battlegrounds Mobile India, popularly known as BGMI, is rumoured to make a comeback as early as the year-end. Several YouTubers and BGMI players have claimed that they know Krafton’s plan. But Krafton, which is the publisher of BGMI and holds the PUBG IP, did not say anything on the return of the battle royale. However, it has now reportedly dropped a major hint. Krafton has created a new BGMI player support channel on YouTube with a handful of videos, which are also available on the company website.

The four videos on the channel talk about frequently asked questions, such as Prime/Prime Plus, payment, and the banning of accounts. These videos are categorised as user guides on the new YouTube channel, and they are available on the BGMI website, as well. While the four videos, which, according to MySmartPrice, are based on tutorials are not public and unlisted, the fact that Krafton created a new channel for BGMI content should be an indication that the company is working toward bringing the game back to the app stores.

What happened?

The Indian government imposed a ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India in July earlier this year on the same grounds it cited while banning PUBG Mobile. But unlike the ban on PUBG Mobile, BGMI was merely delisted from the app stores in the name of the ban. The government seemingly did not ask telecom service providers to block access to the game, which is why players who had BGMI installed on their devices at the time of the ban continue to access it even today. But Krafton has not been able to push any updates since both Google and Apple unpublished the game from their app stores.

Previously, YouTubers have claimed the return of BGMI can happen by the end of this year. While YouTuber called Technical Guruji said the game may return this year in a new avatar, another streamer said the comeback may happen early next year. Reports have also said that BGMI may return with a new name and a new publisher, meaning Krafton would either transfer rights to BGMI to a different company or change the name of the Indian subsidiary to something else.

At the moment, these all are just speculation and Krafton has not said anything about the unban.
