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.

Nothing Ear (Stick) to launch today: How to watch livestream, expected price, specs and more
Nothing is set to launch its second audio product worldwide: Nothing Ear (stick) today. The Nothing Ear (Stick) launch event will begin at 7:30pm IST and the livestream of the event can be viewed on YouTube and the company’s official website. The tech company has announced that the said earbuds will go on sale in India on Flipkart and Myntra. It will be available for purchase on Myntra because of its style quotient.
Nothing Ear (stick) expected specifications
The image shared by Nothing reveals that earbuds will come in White and Red color options. The TWS earbuds will come with a transparent design, just like its other two devices. Additionally, the company has also confirmed that Nothing Ear (Stick) will come with a cylindrical case which will make it more pocketable. Nothing says that each earbud will weigh 4.4 gm. The upcoming earbuds will be backed by a 350mAh battery case and each earbud will draw its juice from 36mAh battery.
Some certifications in the past have revealed that the Ear (stick) will have Bluetooth v5.2 support. The earbuds will also have an IP54 rating and support AI Bass. That’s pretty much what we know so far about the Ear (stick). It features a half-in-ear design and stick similar to the Nothing ear (1) that was launched by the company last year.
Talking about the design, “With Nothing, we wanted to create a unique design identity that was true to us and that would trigger a sense of joy and wonder when interacting with our products. For Ear (stick) we took inspiration from classic silhouettes in the cosmetics industry. Something that feels unique yet quite elegant and functional,” says Akis Evangelidis, Co-Founder and Head of Marketing at Nothing in a statement.
Nothing Ear (Stick) expected pricing
The upcoming Nothing earbuds are likely to be priced less than Nothing Ear (1) which was launched in India last year at Rs 5,999. This suggests that the company might ditch a few high-end features like active noise cancellation and wireless charging to keep the prices low.
