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. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...

Waiting for launch of MacBook Pro, Mac mini with M2 chip? Here’s what Apple may be planning

Apple was reported to have a jampacked 2022, with launches planned throughout the year. Towards the end of this year, the speculation was that Apple would launch new models in November, but it seems there is a change in plans. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has said that Apple is no longer planning to launch the new MacBook Pro models in November and may have pushed back their release to the beginning of 2023.

The next MacBook Pro models, as well as the next Mac mini, are likely to use Apple’s M2 processor. The Pro would be a significant upgrade, while those waiting for Apple’s mini-computer will have a new model with the company’s fastest Silicon-based processor. But while the wait for them was likely to end next month, Apple may now have rescheduled the launch to sometime in early 2023.

It is strange because Apple usually launches its new MacBook around November.  But it is not just Gurman who is suggesting otherwise. Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in August said that the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro are expected to enter mass production in the fourth quarter of 2022. And that the chipsets would still use the 5nm “advanced node,” considering TSMC’s roadmap for the development of the 3nm process.

Several previous predictions, including that from Gurman, also pointed out that Apple would hold the third round of product launches this year. Apple has already launched the new iPhone 14 series, a new M2-powered iPad Pro, an entry-level iPad, and a new Apple TV 4K. The third launch scheduled was reportedly meant for new Mac products. But it may no longer be the case.

During the company’s earnings call earlier this month, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the product line is “set” for the rest of the year. This means the company’s product lineup may no longer see any more additions to it, thereby, confirming that there would be no further launches for the rest of the year.
